Esquites with Hatch Chiles, is spicy, zesty and so addicting! It’s easily becoming my favorite lunch time meal, and makes a better dinner time side!
Think of Esquites as the little brother mexican street corn (or elote). It’s the same thing, but with less mess to eat.
And it makes an amazing topping for tacos!
And since Hatch Chiles are in season right now, I HAD to throw some in this dish. It adds a little heat and that addicting hatch chile flavor that everyone loves.
Roasting hatch chiles on a grill until charred and letting them steam in a bag for about 15 minutes is the best way to cook them at home.
Then just scrape off the charred skin from your hatch chiles and chop!
Along with the charredness of the corn in your esquites, this is going to have amazing flavor!
Wether you’re adding this to a hot dog, topping on an avocado with some shrimp, or just making it a snack, you need esquites in your life!!
