Step 1

Warm oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add in the corn kernels; cook for about 5 minutes, tossing a few times, until lightly charred. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the crema, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add to the bowl the cooled corn and all the other ingredients; using a rubber spatula, gently fold to combine and coat.

Step 4

Serve immediately and enjoy!
