You all know by now my love affair with corn. So you can imagine that when summer arrives around these parts and the BBQ season starts, I’m giddy with excitement of all the corn that is going to show up.

If there is one country that knows how to eat corn is Mexico.  Anywhere you go you will find carts in every street corn selling something made with corn and where there is corn there is this dish called Esquites.  It’s a snack and the word comes from the Nahuatl word izquitl, which translates to “toasted corn”.
