- If you love Mexican Street Corn, you've got to try this easy recipe for Esquites with Hatch Green Chile. It's a delicious twist on what is often called "Elote en Vaso" or "Corn in a Cup." It's packed with so many complimentary flavors, you will love it as a side dish or on its own. Read on for how to make it.
Esquites with Hatch Green Chile
4-6 ears of corn (I used 6)
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped red or white onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Hatch green chile, chopped (or 2 jalapeños)
1/2 tsp. salt
equal parts Mayonnaise & Crema Mexicana (I used approx. 1/3 cup of each)
crumbled Cotija cheese
fresh lime wedges
red chile powder or Tajin
Use a serrated knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add in corn kernels, cover with lid and let cook five minutes without stirring. Uncover and mix. Add in chopped onion, minced garlic, Hatch green chile and salt. Stir and let it continue cooking another 5 to 10 minutes, until corn is fully cooked. Remove from stove and place in bowl. Let cool 10 minutes. In separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Crema Mexicana until smooth. Pour desired amount over corn. Add desired amount of Cotija cheese and mix to combine all the ingredients. Serve with fresh squeezed lime juice and either red chile powder or Tajin, and enjoy!

Hatch green chile DOES, in fact, make everything better. 😃
YES!!! Spoken like someone who knows where I'm coming from!👊
Indeed 👍🏻
I was born in Albuquerque, only lived there a year and have spent my life in Texas, and I so love green chiles. Every year during green chili season we get roasted green chiles. So good. Your corn recipe looks delicious and I will be making this. I enjoyed your video you do a very good presentation . I have made green chili stew which is a New Mexico dish I believe.
Thanks for the nice comment. I love reading where people are watching from and how recipes are relatable in different parts of the southwest.
looks like it would be wonderful scooped up with a tortilla chip ... yum!!
You nailed it, for sure. In fact, that's how a lot of people have it.
Love this stuff! Indeed green Chile's make everything better!
It made it SO good! Glad you get it!
Hi Marcy, my daughter loves the Mexican corn thanks for another awesome recipe God Bless ✝️
Thank YOU for watching. Hope your daughter gets to enjoy some soon. May God bless you, as well.
My kids love this! Whenever we go to El Paso, they gotta have one off the street! I raised little El Paso kids!! They love corn in general, I think they get that from me... great job, nice onion!
I miss El Paso 🥺
Thank you. You had me when you were cooking the corn, peppers, onions, and garlic in your skillet. I would have eaten it right out of the skillet without the sauce. Yum 😋
I'm sure it would still be delicious without the sauce, though it (and the cheese) does take it to a whole other level. 🤤Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Perfect for a summer barbecue!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching.
I wish we had Smell-O-Vision, because this looks like it smells heavenly!
Right before adding the cheese I gave it a taste and it was so good, I left it as it was. We loved it! Thanks for sharing!
That's great. Glad you enjoyed it, even without the cheese.
The first time I had this was from a street vendor in a Chicago suburb, in a cup, of course. Now you find it in restaurants and it’s trendy, but boy is it good! I need to make this at home, so thank you for this video 😊
I think you're right about it becoming trendy. I never had it growing up in southern New Mexico, but now I've been seeing it more often. I hope you enjoy it homemade!
I was born and raised in Albuquerque and somehow, I missed out on this. 😔 But I'm going to make up for it. It looks delicious. ❤
I didn't grow up eating this at home in southern NM, either. I only had it when I was older. It must have taken a while for it to make its way this side of the border. Now, my mom says no local fiesta is complete without it. We all love it.
Yes they sell this on the street in my city of Escondido. Thank you!!
I bet it's hard to resist when it's so handy like that!
@@marcyinspired1442 im in Mississippi now 😅😅😅 home of the hardest tamales I've ever seen 😅
Xo

Can't wait to try this one! Never had street corn...looks yummy! TFS Marcy
It is a must-try for sure! My husband will eat it hot or cold, it's that good.
All I can say is yummmmm 😊
And you would be correct.

I'm sure it would be a hit. And it's great hot or cold. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a great recipe!.....going to fill my bathtub with this good stuff...see you in the fall, if I see you at all...!
Haha! Hope you enjoy! 🛁🌽
Love watching you cook. I live in Missouri and can get only Anaheim peppers. Good substitute but discovered Hatch chilies when I visited my daughter her husband at El Paso. She was in Army Sargent Major School. Love this corn recipe you are making.
That's wonderful. You must be very proud of your daughter! Thanks so much for watching. Hope you're able to make this recipe.
That looks great 👍. I'm gonna try it. Thanks.
I'm happy to hear that. Hope you love it as much as we do.
This is going on my list of things I want to cook thank you so so so so much Marcy 😊
You're so welcome! I appreciate your support. 😊
Of course!! And thank you for sharing your cooking talent with us!! I'm definitely making the green Chile stew again this week now that it's been cold 🥶
Looks amazing. I enjoy the Mexican mayonesa. It has lime. Mmm 😋
I have never tried Mexican mayonesa and didn't realize they put lime in it. I'll have to try it sometime.
I am for sure going to make this! It looks so delicious. Thanks!!
I'm happy to hear that. Hope you enjoy!
Great choice for a side! Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching!
Tajin is so good on popcorn btw xo
That's a great idea! For a while, I was putting Tajin on everything, but I never tried it on popcorn.
Looks good…gonna give this a try! Thank you 🙏🏻 💕❤️
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy it.
Looks delicious 👍😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋i love anything with corn it it🤗 blessing 🙏🏽
Me, too. It's hard to go wrong with corn. Thanks for watching.
Looks wonderful ❤
Thanks for watching.
Looks delicious i must try!❤
I hope you do. They're so delicious.
Let me know in the comments if you've had Esquites before and where you had them. I'd love to hear from you.🌽
Nuevo Laredo Mexico, corn on a stick, roasted, dipped in sauce, chili powder on outside, served in a cup. Also pinto bean soup with tortillas.
Buda, TX, looked much like yours, served in a cup at my nieces volleyball games.
Deliciousness 😋
My wife's family is from the Rio Grande valley, and I have lived all over Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. "Esquites," this is new to me. And I ate street tacos in M de F, C. Juarez, and Chihuahua. How come I never heard of esquites?
Anyone can find all the ingredients, just look under mercado. La Plaza, La Michocana or Fiesta are the local markets. Wal Mart also has everything on the recipe. Hatch Chiles? When in doubt, more is better. Huevos, tamales, papas, frijoles, me gusta con Hatch chiles.
@@rodleyeriffe9149 Yum! Sounds heavenly.👌
OH 😋 yummy 😋. I've never had this before, just street corn 🌽
Looks Soo good 👍. Thanks Marcy 🤗🥰. BLESSINGS to YOU 😇🙏
It's like street corn in salad form, so you will definitely love it. Thanks so much for the sweet comment.
Marcy, my onions split as well. I planted them in the fall. Try planting some now and they will do much better!
Is that right? How interesting. I'll have to try that. As ugly as they looked, they tasted really great, so I definitely want to plant more. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Marcy, I love your videos and love trying out all your recipes! Can you please do a video on your Menudo recipe if possible?
Marcy, i know you just did the esquites, but could you take us through your method for elotes entero. I know its very similar but i much prefer it over corn in a cup and would like to see it prepared so I get it right.
I shared a recipe for Mexican Street corn, which is entero when I first started this channel. I shot it myself with my cell phone, so the quality isn't too great, but the recipe holds up. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/L9az0XrYZzI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hD9G_Uil8nSjsSDV
Well that not only looks delicious it also looks easy to put together!
So you always eat with a spoon?
Are tortilla chips or some cheese quesadilla allowed?
Scooping this up with tortilla chips is definitely a good way to go. I definitely wouldn't turn down a quesadilla, either. I think you'll love this any way.
That red onion looks like a leek. Did you plant it from seed? Maybe the seeds were mixed up. Once I had a leek that got old in the fridge so I put it in water to get the roots going, then put it in soil, and it grew a flower just like that. I took a neat photo, on a black background. Well, maybe they just flower similarly, too. :) We used to eat corn and squash tacos, in fresh corn tortillas with queso fresco. This reminds me of that.
Oh wow! I planted mine from an old onion that had sprouted a root in my refrigerator. I just took that and stuck it in the soil. (It flowered so beautifully, I can see how that would make a beautiful photo.) Mine was definitely a red onion, it just didn't look like one when I pulled it out. It tasted really good, though.
Hi sister Marcy, can that be served cold?
Hi Sylvia. Hope you're doing well. Yes, it can be served cold. In fact, if there's any leftover, my husband usually eats it straight out of the refrigerator. We love it hot or cold.
How about roasting the corn first to give it a really great flavor
I couldn't agree more. I overcrowded my pan in this video, but when I cook a smaller batch, I get more char marks. It's so yummy.
;-)
I'm from Albuquerque and I'm a big Hatch Green chili. What I want to know is what does the whaquio cheese taste like. I have never had any Mexican cheeses. I've had Parma and I don't like the smell. Can you please help me
I may be wrong but I think in this recipe she is saying Cotija cheese. If that is correct, I think the taste and texture is very similar to feta cheese used in Mediterranean cooking. They both have a salty and slightly pungent taste. The Cotija dissolves on your tongue much faster than feta.
@@davidpricerobinson5853 Thank you for responding. I'm just now getting around to reading the comments and couldn't have explained it better, myself.
Thanks Marcy for your fantastic videos ! I’ve really learned a lot from you. I live in Southern Colorado and we fortunately have a strong Northern New Mexico influence here. I doubt ( as a Gringo) I could survive without Hatch Green Chile or as they say ‘ Christmas Style ‘ red and green sauce for very long ! I’m a huge fan boy ! Thanks again !
What a sweet comment! I'm thrilled that what I have to share would be helpful to others. Thank you for taking the time to tell me. Love that you are a fellow Hatch chile enthusiast!
@@marcyinspired1442 You are so welcome, and may I say … Your husband is a very lucky man !
@@thelonewolf2288 Awe. Thank you! Although, I hit the jackpot with him, too. ♥
Hatch🤮. NM has many, many great green chili farmers.
