Esquites: A Corn Salad Recipe from the Pueblos Mágicos of Mexico

What are Esquites?

Esquites are a popular Mexican street dish, traditionally made with boiled corn and seasoned with various spices, lime juice and cheese. My vegan version of the recipe retains the basic essence and vibrant flavors, but replaces animal products with plant-based alternatives.

Esquites, also known as Mexican corn salad, is more than just a meal; it's a piece of culture that is deeply rooted in the heart of the Mexican community. Growing up with regular trips with my mother through the enchanting Pueblos Mágicos of Mexico, this dish became a symbol of adventure and family bonding. Every spoonful of the delicious esquites we enjoyed on these trips tasted of discovery and community.
