If you love corn, then you will love the simplicity of this classic Mexican corn side dish called Esquites. All you need is the freshest corn you can find, some fresh butter and a bit of water and salt. It is so delicious it is also eaten as a snack and is sold by street vendors so that everyone can enjoy it any time of day.

Chicken on the grill is unbeatable for it juiciness and smoky flavors. Make your chicken even better with this Chile-Lime Chicken Marinade made with, you guessed it, chiles and lime. The lime juice marinates the chicken and makes it extra juicy and the chiles give the chicken an extra kick. Enjoy this chicken as a main entree or slice it up for some fajitas.

On a hot summer afternoon, the last thing you need to do is turn on the oven or stove to make dinner. The additional heat in the kitchen isn't fun for anyone, so instead of slaving over a hot stove for dinner try a light and refreshing Taco Salad. If you have time, you can make the ground beef in the morning while it's cooler, or use leftover ground beef, shredded chicken or shredded beef.
