Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons oil - canola, vegetable, or refined coconut oil
- 4 ears corn - cut off the cob
- 1 teaspoon tajín +/- - homemade or store bought
- 2 ounces cotija - crumbled
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves - chopped
- 1 lime - cut in wedges
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a smoking hot pan. Add the prepared corn.
- Let the corn sit unmoved for a couple of minutes to get the char that we're looking for. This will take 2-3 minutes. Give it a stir, and give it another couple of minutes (about 5 total).
- Stir in the tajín. Stir fry an additional minute.
- Finish the tajín corn with chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija, and a squeeze (or three) of fresh lime juice!
Notes
If using frozen corn kernels, use about 2 1/2 cups.
This is a "charred" corn recipe that requires a very hot skillet. Use an oil with a high smoke point.
