Doesn’t corn just scream summer to you?… it does for me.  Can’t have a summer party without some corn.  While I love just plain ‘ol corn on the cob with some butter, this just is such a crowd pleaser.  A bit spicy, a bit salty, a bit creamy… I can eat bowls of this.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of frozen corn4 cups corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp crumbled cotija cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves; chopped
• 2 tbsp of chopped red onion
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Heat a shallow, large pan on high heat.  Add the corn and toss until slightly charred, about 7-8 minutes.
• Once done, let the corn cool.  Then add all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.

It’s really that simple. 🙂 🙂 🙂
