Mexican Street Corn Salad. Esquites inspired recipe! Not authentic! Grilled corn, everything but the elote seasoning, cilantro, jalapeño peppers and more! You’ve got to try this recipe!

“Smoky, sweet, spicy, and tangy, esquites are the off-the-cob version of elotes—grilled on-the-cob Mexican street corn slathered with creamy, cheesy, lime-scented, chile-flecked sauce.” I gained inspiration from this recipe and this recipe. Read this one from Serious Eats to read all about Esquites.

Mexican Street Corn Salad

Even though September 22nd is the official last day of summer, I always feel like Labor Day is the beginning of our farewell to summer. We did absolutely nothing today and just watched tv and relaxed. Something that we all needed to do today. I did pick up some corn from the grocery store and we grilled. Grilled corn, chicken, zucchini and bread. My absolute favorites to throw on the grill.

If you are on TikTok, or just social media in general, chances are you’ve seen the corn boy. I have no idea how these things happen but someone made this little interview into a song. And it went viral. It’s the cutest thing ever. 

If you find yourself with some corn, grill it and make this recipe! You won’t regret it.
