Esquites image

Similar to elote, but the corn kernels are removed from the cob. Sweet, smoky, salty, spicy--basically all the flavors-- corn.

Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 gallons water
1 cup white sugar
4 ears yellow corn
mesquite wood chips
3 tablespoons chili powder
5 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
3 tablespoons Mexican crema
⅓ bunch chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a large bowl and stir well. Leaving corn in husks, soak for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat with mesquite chips in the wood box. Lightly oil the grate.
  • Grill corn, still in husks, for 45 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool before shucking.
  • Cut corn from the cobs and combine with chili powder. Saute corn kernels in a skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently, until you see come charring, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cotija cheese, crema, cilantro, and salt and cook until warmed through, about 4 more minutes. Spritz with lime juice and serve immediately.
