Esquites

Esquites (or ezquites) (troles and trolelotes in Northeast Mexico, chasca in Aguascalientes, vasolote in Michoacán, etc.)

also known as elote en vaso (corn in a cup), also served in the Southwestern USA[1][2][3][4] is a Mexican snack or antojito.

[7][8] There is an alternative origin story that claims that in the late 1800's, Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico and Empress Charlotte of Belgium created a dish referred to as "Odalisque Teeth", when they accidentally used corn flour instead of wheat.

[10] Esquites are generally made from white corn kernels that have been boiled and softened in water, which typically contains salt and epazote.

The ingredients can vary; toppings for esquites include (but are not limited to) combinations of lime juice, chili powder or hot sauce, salt, Cotija cheese, and mayonnaise.
