Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Corn and Seasoning

    Stir in the corn kernels, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender.

  3. 3

    Combine Rice and Cream

    Add the cooked rice and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cotija Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the crumbled cotija cheese until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.
