Mexican Charred Corn Salad
Tasty salad of charred corn with mayo, cheese, lime, jalapeno, chili powder
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- 2-3 tbsp mayo or sour cream
- 1 jalapeno seeded, stemmed and diced small
- lime juice to taste I probably used about a tbsp
- chili powder to taste, I probably used 1/2 tsp
- cayenne optional to add more spice if you like
- cotija or parmesan to taste, I like a lot and probably used about 1/4 cup
- fresh cilantro leaves
- salt to taste you often don't need much if you add a decent amount of cheese
Instructions
- Char the corn either on your stove top (if you have gas burners) or on a grill or using the broiler of the oven. I have a hot gas burner so I placed my peeled corn directly in the flames to get a nice char. Cool.
- Slice the kernels off the cobs and combine with the mayo, cheese, lime, jalapeno, spices, salt and cilantro. Stir and taste. You should get a little creamy, little salty, little spicy, little sour. Adjust as needed until it tastes great :)
