Notes
- Corn: 2 cups of frozen corn will also work. Be sure to fully thaw, rinse, and drain before using. You can also use fresh corn but will need to grill or sear it in a skillet before using.
- Make It Spicy: Leave the seeds in the jalapeños, use a serrano pepper, or even add a dash or two of hot sauce.
- Flavor Tip: This dish benefits from some time to let the flavors marinate. At least 15-30 minute will work wonders!
- Storage: This recipe keeps for up to 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can freeze for up to 3 months, but the texture may alter slightly upon thawing.
