Esquites

1. Place an inverted small bowl inside a large mixing bowl.
2. Rest the corn on a cob on top of the small bowl and carefully cut off the corn kernels. 
3. In a medium pan on medium heat, add the oil, butter, corn kernels, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place a lid or baking tray over the pan to stop the corn popping out of the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes or until they're charred, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, add Dibble Mayo, Dibble Sour Cream, lime juice, paprika, chilli powder, cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp salt and whisk thoroughly.
5. Add the coriander, jalapeños, fried corn, cheese and combine together thoroughly. Set aside. 

Tostadas

1. In a medium pan on medium heat, add the oil and fry each side of the tostadas for 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy.
2. Place the tostadas on a serving board or plate and add 2 Tbsp lettuce, 3 Tbsp of the esquites.
3. Top with 1/2 tsp coriander, 1 Tbsp Dibble Chipotle Mayo and serve with the lime wedges.
4. Enjoy!
