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?

Tasty corn kernels served in a cup. This easy and quick recipe is popular all over Mexico. The Kernels are golden brown and smoky. Then, add in some mayonnaise, cheese, and plenty of seasoning...you&#39;ve just made one of my favorite dishes of all time: esquite!

cut corn kernels (about 4 corn ears)

sour cream

unsalted butter

white onion

epazote

serrano pepper (OPTIONAL)

queso

chili powder or cayenne pepper (for topping)

Lime wedges (optional)

Salt

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

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.

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.
