STREET CORN ARROW-CIRCLE-RIGHT Esquites (pronounced es-KEE-tehs) are a popular Mexican street food dish made from corn kernels that have been shucked from the cob. The kernels are boiled or roasted, then combined with ingredients such as mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder and Cotija cheese (a crumbly, white Mexican cheese crafted from cow’s milk). Esquites are similar to elotes (pronounced eh-LOTE-tehs), which are whole ears of corn coated in similar toppings.
