Ingredients

Elote Corn Salad

• 15 ounces corn drained and dried (canned or dethawed frozen)
• 1/2 small red onion diced
• 1/2 jalapeño finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 small handful cilantro chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions chopped
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup plain unsweetened yogurt or sour cream
• 1/24cup cotija cheese to taste
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. If you like, in a large cast iron pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add the corn (dry it so it will char faster) and let sit, stirring rarely, to get the corn to char up some. Let the corn mostly sit in the hot pan without stirring to get the charred bits you want.
2. While cooking, add the red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, cilantro, and green onions to a large bowl. Stir together and add the charred corn.
3. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate.
4. Add the yogurt and cotija cheese directly before serving. Taste and season with kosher salt and pepper.
