Mom's Esquites

When I was little, my parents separated and my mom took us to live in Guanajuato. There, she worked making handmade tortillas and washing and ironing clothes for others. Every weekend, my mom would cook these delicious esquites with corn she picked herself from the field. My mom is the best because she always made sure we had food on the table. Now my parents are back together, and I love seeing them healthy and happy.
