Caesar Esquites Recipes
ESQUITES
Steps:
- Make the spice blend: Combine the salt, chili powder, ancho powder, paprika, garlic, guajillo powder and lime zest in a small bowl; set aside.
- Make the crema: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon of the spice blend in a medium bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook the corn: Heat a grill to high. Brush the corn with vegetable oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Cut the kernels off the cobs and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the crema, 1/2 teaspoon of the spice blend and the cotija and cilantro; stir to combine. Top with more cotija and cilantro and sprinkle with more of the spice blend. Serve with lime wedges.
ESQUITES
Esquites are the salad form of elotes, charcoal-grilled Mexican corn on the cob that is slathered with a creamy sauce, seasoned with chile powder and lime juice and topped with Cotija, a crumbly, aged Mexican cheese. This version doesn't require a grill, and instead chars the corn kernels in a hot skillet until browned and caramelized. Cotija brings salty, milky accents to the salad. Ancho chile powder adds smoky notes, but you can use any type of chile powder you favor. Leftovers transform quickly into a great pasta salad the next day; simply toss with cooked pasta and olive oil.

Steps:
- In a large cast iron or heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is nicely charred and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 2 minutes. (This helps the corn pick up more char and smoky flavor.)
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, crema, cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce in a small bowl for drizzling.
- Add seared corn to the large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Transfer to a large serving platter, spreading corn mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with the reserved sauce, and sprinkle with Cotija and chile powder. Garnish with more cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
CAESAR ESQUITES
Caesar salad is often thought of as an Italian classic, but the famous dish was likely invented at Caesar's Restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. For this esquites recipe--which means shaved corn--we pay homage to the anchovy-laced salad by replacing the traditional mayo-sour cream mixture often served on street corn with a Caesar-style dressing made with sour cream, garlic and what some say was a key ingredient in the original Caesar recipe: lime juice. A shower of Parmesan -- shaved and grated-- finishes the dish. This recipe might just be the perfect side for your next summer party, served with a little bit of Mexican history.

Steps:
- Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil. Add the corn, cover and cook until the kernels are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the corn to a large bowl to cool completely.
- Add the sour cream, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies and garlic to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the oil until thickened and emulsified; season with salt and pepper.
- Cut each ear of corn in half crosswise. Stand a piece upright and slice off the kernels, cutting close to the cob so they come off in wide sheets.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the dressing to the center of a large platter. Spread it with a spoon in a swishing motion, Put the sheets of corn on top of the dressing.
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave off 1/2 cup of Parmesan curls and scatter it over the corn. Then use a rasp grater to finish the dish with finely grated Parmesan. Serve with lime wedges and the remaining dressing on the side.
