Ingredients: Resource from jocooks.com
4 cups corn (about 5 ears), cut from the cob or canned or frozen corn
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper chopped
1/2 small red onion finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
6 green onions chopped
1/2 avocado chopped
4 tbsp lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1/2 tsp cumin ground
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper ground
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sour cream (or plain yogurt)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 cup cotija cheese (or feta), crumbled
Preparation:
Cut the corn off the cob if using fresh cobs (5 cobs to get 4 cups). If using frozen corn, there is no need to thaw.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the corn and stir it around. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the corn starts to char, which is why we're using high heat. If using frozen corn, you will need a couple minutes extra to get the right charred bits while the water evaporates
Transfer the corn to a large bowl and let it cool for a couple minutes.
To the same bowl, add the remaining ingredients. Stir everything together until well combined. Adjust lime juice and salt and pepper as necessary.
To serve garnish with additional cheese and cilantro, if preferred.
