  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4 to 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 ears of fresh corn (kernels removed) or 4–5 cups frozen/thawed corn

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Juice of 1 medium lime

  • 2 ounces cotija cheese (or feta/queso fresco)

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Remove husks from corn, cut off kernels, and set aside. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to lightly char. Stir and continue cooking another 4–5 minutes.

  • Turn off heat. Stir in mayonnaise and mix until corn is well coated.

  • Add green onions, chopped jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

  • Top with cotija cheese. Toss gently and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan mayo and vegan cheese.

  • Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of chili powder and jalapeño.

  • Serve immediately or reheat gently before serving.
