From Liz Call - 18th Ward
- 4 cups sweet corn (6-8 ears fresh corn or 4 cups frozen corn)
- ½ cup mayo
- 2 TBL butter
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 4 green onions
- ¼ cup cotija cheese
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp sugar
- cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the corn. You can either add 4 cups of frozen corn to a large skillet and warm on medium high heat until corn is cooked and there is a bit of char on it. Or cook 6-8 fresh ears of corn in boiling water, then sear them on a barbcue grill for a few minutes to get some char marks, then cut the corn off the cob.
- Add cooked corn to a medium bowl.
- In a bowl, melt butter in microwave.
- Chop green onions (only want to include the green part, not the white).
- Add mayo, spices, green onions, lime juice, and 1-2 T. of cheese to the melted butter and stir until all combined.
- Pour mixture over cooked corn and stir until all combined.
- Add remaining cheese and a few chopped cilantro leaves on top to garnish and to serve.
- **NOTE: I don't love cilantro, but if you do, you can always add more than just a few leaves. Just be careful to not overpower the flavor with cilantro.
