Spicy Esquites
Esquites is a Mexican street food classic. Charred corn tossed in a creamy, zingy dressing that’s completely addictive. We’ve built ours around our Spicy Taco Seasoning, which brings depth and warmth without overpowering the sweetness of the corn. Finish it with feta, spring onions, a squeeze of lime and a handful of coriander and you’ve got something that will genuinely upstage whatever’s coming off the grill.
Serve it as a topping for your tacos or pile it onto tortilla chips and let people get stuck in. However you serve it…make a big batch. People always want more.
