Esquites Recipe

Step 1

In medium-high heat, melt the butter in a skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook until transparent.

Step 2

Add corn, epazote (if using), serrano pepper, and ⅓ water. Stir and cover to cook, stirring occasionally. It will take between 6-8 minutes to cook. Check for doneness and do not overcook; corn kernels should be firm.

Step 3

Season with salt and serve in 4 cups. Top with cream and/or mayonnaise and cheese. If you don’t want to use the serrano peppers and use cayenne or chili powder instead, add it with some lime juice.
