Instructions
- Cut the corn off each cob. If fresh corn on the cob is not available, you can also use canned or frozen corn.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the corn and cook for 5-8 minutes until some of the corn is charred. If you are using frozen corn, you don’t have to thaw it before cooking, but you will need to cook it for a few more minutes.
- Move the corn to a large bowl and let it cool.
- Once the corn has cooled, add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
- Garnish with additional Cotija cheese and additional cilantro and serve.

Notes
- Store your Mexican Corn Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you plan to make it ahead of time, wait to add avocado until just before serving to prevent browning.
