How to Make Esquites | La Cocina De Todos

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and higher in protein.

cotija cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Feta is lower in fat, while parmesan is often more affordable.

Heat a hot pan and add a little bit of oil.

Add corn to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste the corn to ensure it is cooked through and has a bit of caramelization without charring.

Prepare a base by spreading jalapeno crema at the bottom of the serving dish.

Mound the cooked corn on top of the jalapeno crema.

Top the corn with salsa negra for richness and smokiness.

Add crumbled queso fresco for tanginess and creaminess.

Sprinkle corn nuts on top for texture.

Finish with shaved cured egg yolks for saltiness and umami.
