Step 1
Start by finely chopping the cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
Step 3
Add the frozen corn and allow it to cook until the kernels start to sear, about 4-5 minutes. From there, use a spatula to flip the kernels so the other side can sear. The goal for this recipe is to really sear the corn until seared on almost every kernel.
Step 4
While it is charring, mix together the mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, fresh lime juice, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, red onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 5
When the corn is done, gently fold it into the bowl of cheese and seasonings and combine well.
Step 6
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
