Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shave the Corn

    Using a sharp knife, carefully shave the kernels off the cobs of fresh corn. Make sure to get as much of the corn off as possible without cutting too deeply into the cob.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shaved corn, mayonnaise, crumbled Cotija cheese, Tajín seasoning, lime juice, and salt. Stir gently until all ingredients are well coated and mixed.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle additional Tajín seasoning on top. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
