Street Corn Salad

Street Corn Salad, also known as esquites, is the off-the-cob version of elotes. It’s creamy, with a slight kick from the jalapeño. Make sure you have some sturdy tortilla chips on hand. Part salad, part dip; either way it’s delicious! What makes this the perfect party food is you can serve it hot or cold! Put everything in a baking dish, cover with foil, and pop it on the grill if there is room. You’ll get a melty, creamy version. Keep everything chilled, and it’s a refreshing respite from summer heat.
