  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (or cotija cheese)
  • Juice & zest of 1 lime

Instructions

  • Dice red onion, jalapeño & cilantro
  • In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp of olive oil & add corn (if using fresh cut corn off the cob)

  • Cook stirring for 10 minutes until the corn starts to caramelize
  • Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 mins

Notes

  • I recommend serving this cold which means you can easily prep it ahead of time! 
  • This is by no means traditional, just my own spin on it. I lived in Canada for a long time and was never able to find cotija cheese so I developed this recipe with feta and it adds the perfect touch.
  • Leftovers are great as toppings on tacos, salads, bowls etc.
