Ingredients:
| 1 (16-ounce) bag | frozen corn (or 3-4 cups fresh corn) |
| 2 tablespoons | olive oil |
| 3 tablespoons | mayonnaise (i used light) |
| 3 to 4 ounces | cotija cheese, crumbled (i found this over in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store, but you could also use feta cheese) |
| 2 tablespoons | lime juice (fresh is my favorite) |
| 1 tablespoon | jalapeño pepper, finely chopped |
| 1/3 cup | cilantro, finely chopped |
| 2 tablespoons | red onions, finely chopped |
| 2 cloves | garlic, minced |
| 1/2 teaspoon | chili powder |
| salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
Heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
