canned street corn

Ingredients
  

  • - 2 cans of sweet corn drained
  • - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • - 1/4 cup sour cream
  • - 1 cup cotija cheese crumbled, or feta as a substitute
  • - 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • - 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • - Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • - Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the drained canned corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.
  • While the corn is cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
  • Once the corn is heated, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the corn and stir until all the kernels are well coated.
  • Add the crumbled cotija cheese to the corn mixture and gently fold it in to combine, saving a little for garnish.
  • Serve the canned street corn warm, topped with additional cotija cheese, a sprinkle of chili powder, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
