Esquites are one of the main snacks or quick comfort food go-tos you can find in Mexican street cuisine. "When I make this, it instantly reminds me of my abuelita's house and how it was made when I was a kid," she said. "You can customize to make it spicier or more cheesy based on what you are in the mood for."
When you buy it on the street, it usually comes in a cup or bowl, and they vary a lot from one region to another. You can swap the mayonnaise for milk, add chiles or no chiles, and same with cilantro. The key is making them your own!
