Mexican Street Corn on the Griddle --Corn Esquites

This Mexican street corn on the griddle is a fantastic flat top grill side dish recipe to make on your Blackstone, Camp Chef, or Pit Boss… It’s so good, that you’ll definitely want seconds.

Actually, we had a side dish similar to this at a local Mexican restaurant recently for the first time. It was so dang delicious that we went back to the restaurant again just for this awesome Mexican street corn, which was called corn esquites on the menu… and so of course we had to try to make our own version of this side dish on the griddle.

Think of this Mexican street corn on the griddle as a rich and decadent, creamy, almost sinful corn side dish… made with cotija cheese (similar to a parmesan), it actually resembles an Alfredo. Serve it warm and garnish with fresh cilantro and some lime juice. Delicious!

I watched this vid when y'all first posted it. I have been making it ever since. Anytime the menu leans toward Mexican/texmex it's one of the sides. My son's neighborhood does a lot of cookouts and we are always invited providing we bring Neal's Mexican Street Corn. Thanks.

[bobbicatton]

I like the way you keep tasting, and adding ingredients until you get it recreated just right👍

[benboodles]

Neal, I’ve made this dish 3 times now, mostly taking it as a side dish to other people’s events. Has been a hit every time.

Thank you so much for everything. All the best to you in the new year. You really do make a difference in people’s lives.

[antoniogarrobo]

Hi Neal you should try mayo, cotija, lime, cilantro, and crema after you cook the corn, those ingredients must go fresh taste a world different, just a recommendation I worked back there Mexico doing that on the streets love you content keep your nice person and I’m a griddle fan to thanks from texas

[sqnhunter]

I have been living in Mexico for last 15 years...and the secret to doing this is to always keep it moist...don't be afraid to have a little too much moisture...you can dry that out a bit as you go. I have a little BBQ pit where I am...and part of it is Pork belly kebabs with vegetable kebabs similar to what you have done with your pork and served with red rice and this corn recipe. Its a Unique flavor but easily varied for different tastes. It does very well with both the local Mexican population and tourists. Its even a good side dish with ribs! Kudos bro! Keep on cooking.

[miketaylor]

We get this corn all the time. It’s fantastic!! 👍👍 thanks from so cal

[datastorm]

Elotes are my fav corn side. Nice charred corn on the cob is key. This is basically a creamy kernel version of it and I'm here for it

[gasman]

My wife tried the crema when we bought it and said she did not think she was going to like the dish. So I made it tonight and she said the corn was amazing and want's me to make it again when we have our next family get together. Keep the recipes coming. Thank you for what you do.

[jakespencer]

Adding it to my side dish list when cooking Carne Asada. Dude that looks amazing!!

[eloisarodriguez]

We have it simple here we have the corn man. Boiled corn on the cobb on a stick with butter, mayo, cotija cheese, sprayed on lemon juice and sprinkled on powdered chili. 😋

[Merica_dadgarage]

I gotta give that a try!!!! Looks amazing!!! And delicious!!!!

[richardgraiff]

I am just getting start grilling, have only done one cook so far, but this looks like a must try.

[unclerocky]

Neal you are fearless! That corn looked really good and different than others made on a griddle. Keep up the great content.

[floydcampbell]

Wow that looks FANTASTIC, if it tastes half as good as it looks it has to be great!

20 minutes ago (3:03am in Taiwan), I woke up and thought I would check my phone. "The corn video!!!" I sat bolt upright and just finished watching. Wow, that looks so good! (esquites is pronounced 'es KEY tase'.) As with all cooking videos, I would leave the mayonnaise out. I have already shared the video with my Mexican friend in Mexico. He and his wife and two daughters lived in my city in Taiwan for a few years as he finished his PhD. Now he's a Mexican university professor. Funny enough, his younger daughter spoke better Chinese when they went back to Mexico.
I will try to join your Facebook group and give you another corn recipe I think you will like. Thanks for the great videos and have a good day! Take care and be safe out there.

[MiguelGonzalez-umcx]

My kind of street food, always enjoying and learning from your recipes and videos. Thanks for sharing another great one!

[timr]

Another great video Neal! I wish I saw it before I went to the store today. I'm so going to make this soon. I need the corn shucking video please. I passed on corn today because i hate shucking it! 2 ears for a dollar but no Duke's in Mesa AZ.

[tracyhayes]

Making it for the Eagles game this Sunday! Thanks for the recipe Neal!

[aretheajohnson]
