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.
