Description
These esquites are exquisite! Esquites are a traditional warm Mexican corn-based snack served in a cup. Similar to the popular Mexican street food known as elotes (corn on the cob with cream, spices, and cheese), esquites combine the same flavors to make an easier-to-eat version without the cob. This version gives the recipe a makeover — just like Chef Gordon Ramsay does to the many restaurants in Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back.

Quite good, fast and easy - will make again. Tastiest with fresh corn but frozen works fine.
