This Esquites recipe is my favorite way to enjoy fresh corn on the cob! It&#39;s Mexican Street Corn in a cup so it&#39;s flavorful, creamy, and such an easy snack or side dish that everyone loves! You can also use frozen corn to enjoy it year round.

Tablespoons Mexican crema (,

Cotija cheese (, shredded, or queso fresco*)

chili powder (, Tajin, or hot sauce

lime (, quartered)

Add butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add onion and pepper then sauté until tender. Add water and corn. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender (about 5-8 minutes).

Season with black pepper and a little salt then divide among 4 cups.

In each cup, add 1 heaping teaspoon of mayonnaise and 1 heaping teaspoon of Mexican crema (or sour cream). Stir to combine.

Sprinkle generously with grated cheese and chili powder, to taste. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze on top. Enjoy immediately.

Thank you so much, I am excited to try it. One question after reading it through: it looks like there might be a teaspoon/tablespoon typo? Does each serving cup get heaping teaspoons or tablespoons of mayonnaise and crema?
