OH SO YUMMY BUTTERY CORN WITH LIME AND CHILE - AKA ESQUITES
Probably completely different than any corn dish you have tasted before- unless you have bought this from a street vendor in a Latin country or an area gretly influenced by the hispanic culture like Texas or Florida! This method really brings out the sweetness in the corn. I enjoyed this so much when I visited Mexico. You could see people all over town eating this on the cob as they stroll and shop. I think it makes a fabulously different side, especially when bbqing or grilling. They are called esquites- es-KEY-tays or elotes- a-LOW-tays- depending on the location. We just call 'em good! Hope you like it!

Steps:
- STOVE TOP METHOD: Heat a large skillet on high heat and add corn to DRY skillet. Cook stirring loose kernels or turning cobs often until kernels begin to brown- about 3-5 minutes. If using, add the minced chile near the end and stir often to make sure it doesn't burn, cooking just until the pepper is soft. Go to step 3 --.
- GRILLING METHOD:my FAVE- grill corn over med hot coals turning to cook all sides and char a few of the kernels. If desired, grill a fresh chili pepper alongside the corn, dice and add to butter. Go to step 3 --.
- FINISH: Combine lime juice, salt, butter and chipotles and or peppers in 1/4 cup water. Pour into pan with kernels OR baste over corn at the end of the grilling time. Remove from grill to covered dish. Pour remaining sauce over corn.
- Sprinkle the salt and epazote or cilantro over the corn.
- Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- Taste to make sure there is enough salt and lime for your taste.
- Serve with any of the toppings listed or use your creativity and come up with your own topping ideas. I LOVE it with lots of lime and chile and just an added pinch of salt!
- In mexico the vendors usually serve this on the cob, offering toppings like chili powder, mayo, catsup or a little cheese, a style that would be like our parmesan. People can top as they wish, walking along the street shopping and site seeing while snacking on this deliciously different treat.
- Hope you enjoy it!

ESQUITES
Esquites are the salad form of elotes, charcoal-grilled Mexican corn on the cob that is slathered with a creamy sauce, seasoned with chile powder and lime juice and topped with Cotija, a crumbly, aged Mexican cheese. This version doesn't require a grill, and instead chars the corn kernels in a hot skillet until browned and caramelized. Cotija brings salty, milky accents to the salad. Ancho chile powder adds smoky notes, but you can use any type of chile powder you favor. Leftovers transform quickly into a great pasta salad the next day; simply toss with cooked pasta and olive oil.

Steps:
- In a large cast iron or heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is nicely charred and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 2 minutes. (This helps the corn pick up more char and smoky flavor.)
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, crema, cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce in a small bowl for drizzling.
- Add seared corn to the large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Transfer to a large serving platter, spreading corn mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with the reserved sauce, and sprinkle with Cotija and chile powder. Garnish with more cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
