Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen corn. Either will work for this dish. The most important piece is to be sure you add a little char to the corn from a nice pan fry. That'll add the necessary flavor to mimic the classic Street Corn.
  • Adjust the heat by adding more chili powder or tamper it down by using less jalapeno. 
  • Make it cheesier by adding more cheese.
  • Make it creamier by adding more mayo or less to make it less creamy.
