Ingredients

  • 2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, undrained

  • ¼ cup grated cotija cheese

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 pinch ground red pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste

  • 1 sprig cilantro for garnish

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. Stir in cotija cheese, mayonnaise, and butter. Season to taste with ground red pepper 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.
