Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 pinch ground coriander
• 2 (16 ounce) packages frozen corn
• ¼ cup minced red onion
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
• ½ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 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.)

Step 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.
