This Esquites recipe is my favorite way to enjoy fresh corn on the cob! It's Mexican Street Corn in a cup so it's flavorful, creamy, and such an easy snack or side dish that everyone loves! You can also use frozen corn to enjoy it year round.

Season with black pepper and a little salt then divide among 4 cups.
In each cup, add 1 heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 heaping tablespoon of Mexican crema (or sour cream). Stir to combine.
Sprinkle generously with grated cheese and chili powder, to taste. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze on top. Enjoy immediately.
