Ingredients
-
2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, undrained
-
¼ cup grated cotija cheese
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 pinch red chili powder to taste
-
2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
-
1 sprig cilantro for garnish
Directions
-
Pour corn with liquid into a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until hot. Drain well, and return to the saucepan.
-
Stir in cotija cheese, mayonnaise, and butter. Season to taste with red chili powder and lime juice. Spoon into a serving dish, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro to serve.
Cook’s Note
You can grate Cotija or you can dice it. I prefer the grated because it doesn't overpower the corn.
