Spicy Mexican street corn salad with jalapenos, Cotija cheese, cilantro, and shallots.
Ingredients:
  • 4 ears corn, kernels cut from cob
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®), or more to taste
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 ounces Cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions:
  • In a large cast iron skillet over high heat, shimmer the oil. Add corn kernels in batches if needed. Stir briefly, season lightly with salt and pepper. Let the corn char slightly for about 2 minutes without stirring. Stir once, cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
