This esquites-style corn brings street food energy with a bright, zippy twist. Sweet kernels get lightly charred, then tossed with Spiceology Chile Margarita Seasoning for citrusy tang and gentle heat. A creamy lime yogurt drizzle cools things down, while cotija and fresh cilantro add just enough savory bite to keep every spoonful balanced, bold, and snackable.

Chile Margarita Street Corn "Esquites"

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Spiceology Chile Margarita seasoning

  • 4 cup corn kernels (fresh cut from cob or frozen & thawed)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • ¼ tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese

  • 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add corn and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and hot. Sprinkle in Chile Margarita seasoning and salt, tossing to coat evenly.

  2. In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy.

  3. Cool corn slightly. In a large bowl spoon the lime yogurt over the top and gently mix thoroughly.

  4. Finish with crumbled cotija and chopped cilantro. Taste and add more lime, salt, or seasoning if needed.
