Heat a small pot over high heat, place the bone marrows in a deep pan, season with coarse salt, and cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the pan, leaving just one piece, and set aside. Using a spoon, remove the fat left in the pan, add the garlic, onion, and cook until they are shiny. Add the corn, epazote, árbol chili, and cilantro. Fill with beef broth and cook for 20 minutes or until the liquid is reduced and the corn is tender. Serve the esquites over the bone marrow, place dollops of mayonnaise, fresh cheese, chili powder, and epazote. Enjoy and accompany with lime.
