Start by preparing the ingredients: 12 ears of corn, 1 kg of suadero, 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, salt to taste, chili piquín, grated cheese, 1 whole onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and a bunch of epazote.

Wash the suadero and place it in a pressure cooker with 1 tablespoon of salt, half of the onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 cups of water.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 40 minutes once it starts to hiss.

While the meat is cooking, remove the kernels from the corn and set them aside.

Chop the remaining half of the onion into small pieces.

In a heated pot, add approximately 3 teaspoons of oil and the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent.

Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.

Add the corn kernels to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 2 liters of water to the corn, then add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Add the epazote leaves and cover the pot.

Let the corn mixture boil for about 25 to 30 minutes, tasting for salt as needed.

Once the suadero is cooked, remove it from the pressure cooker and chop it into small pieces. Sauté the chopped suadero in a bit of oil until browned.

Once the esquites are cooked and seasoned to taste, serve them with the sautéed suadero on top.

Garnish with grated cheese, lime, and chili piquín if desired. Optionally, add mayonnaise, but the creator prefers not to use it.
