May 2024

this month’s cooking challenge recipe is…

A clear plastic cup filled with esquites and a plastic spoon in it.

Esquites

This recipe will quickly become your new favorite snack.

Esquites are a popular Mexican street food that features only a handful of inexpensive ingredients like corn, mayo, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder to create a flavor-packed treat.

It’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo, barbecues, or just an afternoon snack!
