Esquites is a warm corn salad made from toasted or boiled corn kernels mixed with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and sometimes butter or epazote. Originating in central Mexico, it’s the off-the-cob version of elote, served in cups and eaten with spoons, making it a popular street food sold by eloteros. Esquites are typically enjoyed in the evenings as a savory, creamy, and spicy snack.
