Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen corn
•
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
•
1/4 cup minced red onion
•
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
•
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
•
2 tablespoons sour cream
•
2 tablespoons lime juice
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
•
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 pinch ground coriander
Directions
1
Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Spread frozen corn evenly across the skillet; do not stir. Cook corn for approximately 8 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Set aside.
3
Check the corn; it should be slightly charred. If not, allow to continue cooking for 4 more minutes (stirring is fine at this point.)
4
Once corn is sufficiently browned/charred, transfer to the bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Add cotija cheese, red onion, and cilantro and mix until well combined. Serve immediately.
