Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the corn and cook, tossing often, until charred and starting to pop, 5-6 minutes.
  2. Pour the charred corn into a large bowl and add the scallions, cilantro, cotija cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, salt, and chili powder. Toss thoroughly to mix.
  3. Serve topped with additional cilantro and cotija cheese.

Notes

  • Storage: This street corn salad will last up to three days in the fridge. Keep in mind the longer it sits the more water will weep from the corn.
