This seriously tasty Mexican corn salad recipe is plucked straight from the streets of Mexico City. Over there it’s known as Esquites, but we prefer to call it Mexican Street Corn. What makes this sweet corn recipe so irresistible is the sauce made with parmesan, lime juice, Gran Luchito Chipotle Mayo and coriander. Perfect as a dip with Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips or as a side dish when serving Tacos and Fajitas or for your next bbq.Time and servings
