Instructions
- Boil the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place the cooled, drained pasta in a large bowl.
- Cut the corn off of each of the cobs. Add the corn to the pasta.
- Add in the diced red onion and jalapeño pepper.
- Then add in 1/2 cup of each of the two cheeses.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream, juice of 1 lime and Tajín. (Start with 1 teaspoon of Tajín and add more to taste.)
- Pour the dressing over the ingredients in the bowl and mix well to combine.
- Top the salad with the remaining cheeses, additional Tajín and freshly snipped cilantro.
- Cover and chill until serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Zest the lime first if you'd like and add the zest to the dressing as well. It adds just a touch more tangy lime flavor.
