Ingredients

  • 16 oz Frozen Sweet Corn
  • 1/2 Medium Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 3 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly Cracked Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin
  • 2 TBSP Mayonnaise
  • 2 TBSP Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 TBSP Cilantro, Chopped

Queso Fresca

    Instructions

    • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
    • Add in frozen corn and onions and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll want brown bits to slightly form on the corn and onions, but not too much.
    • Season with the salt and pepper during the cook time.
    • Turn the heat off and sprinkle in chili powder and cumin.
    • Fold in the mayonnaise, lime juice and 2 TBSP of cilantro and mix until combined.
    • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish the remaining cilantro and a generous amount of queso fresca. Lightly sprinkle with a pinch of chili powder to add a bit more color.
    • Serve hot with a few lime wedges on the side.
