Transform your corn side dish with this esquites recipe, a flavorful take on Mexican street corn. Charred in a cast iron skillet, coated with our Zesty Jalapeño Aioli, and topped with cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and lime juice, this easy recipe is a crowd-pleaser that doesn’t require a grill.

Chef Tip: To intensify the charred flavor, let the corn sit undisturbed in the hot skillet for a few extra minutes before stirring. This will create deeper caramelization and a more robust, smoky taste in your esquites.
