Creamy Esquites Corn Salsa (Featured at The Grow)
Smoky, creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of heat—this esquites-style corn salsa is layered with flavor in every bite, it’s one of those dishes that tastes like sunshine and disappears fast. Bring chips.
There’s something special about summer sweet corn—especially here in Central Florida, where Zellwood corn is a seasonal staple.
I recently had the opportunity to share one of my favorite warm-weather recipes with The Grow, and I’m so excited to see it featured on their website as part of their Community Cookbook series.
This Creamy Esquites Corn Salsa is my twist on a childhood picnic memory, reimagined with smoky grilled corn, tangy lime, a touch of sriracha heat, and creamy cotija cheese. It’s bold, bright, and totally shareable—the kind of dish that disappears before the chips run out.
💡 Plant-based tip: Want to make it vegan? Just swap in your favorite dairy-free mayo and a plant-based cheese crumble. Still creamy, still crave-worthy.
