The Recipe
Esquites, otherwise known as Mexican Corn Salad
15
Ingredients
DESCRIPTION
This easy and tasty corn salad is basically Mexican grilled corn (elote) turned into a side dish. It relies on only a few ingredients but it’s packed full of flavor. I like to grill the corn, to give the dish a tinge of smoke but if you don’t have a grill, just use the broiler instead, placing the corn under the broiler for 5 minutes initially, or until it starts to char and then rotating the corn 90˚ and letting the other sides of the corn char in 2-3 minutes. Cotija, by the way, is a hard cow milk Mexican cheese that can be found in most grocery stores, but if you can’t find it, feta will work in it’s place.
INGREDIENTS
- 1-3 Serrano pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- plus additional salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 oz (1/4 cup) crumbled Cotija cheese
- 1 garlic clove

- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon chopped cilantro 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 ears corn
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- juice from 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
