Ingredients

For the Corn

4 ears sweet yellow corn Fresh corn enhances sweetness and adds delightful crunch; feel free to substitute with frozen corn if needed!

For the Dressing

2 tbsp mayonnaise Adds creaminess and helps the toppings stick well to the corn.
2 tbsp Mexican crema Traditional for a rich, tangy twist; sour cream can be a good substitute if you can’t find it.
1 tbsp fresh lime juice A squeeze of citrus brightens the flavors.

For the Toppings

1 tbsp butter Melted butter adds a luscious finish.
cotija cheese Offers a salty bite, but you can use feta cheese as an alternative.
Tajin This zesty seasoning elevates the dish with a hint of spice.

Equipment

mixing bowl

Method

Boil the corn until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before carefully cutting the kernels off the cob.
Mix the corn kernels in a bowl with mayonnaise, Mexican crema, lime juice, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Top the mixture with crumbled cotija cheese and sprinkle Tajin before serving.
