Ingredients
  

  • 6 -8 ears of fresh corn or 16oz bag of frozen corn
  • 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese or feta
  • 3 Tbs lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno diced (or serrano) add as much as you like depending on the amount of heat you desire.
  • 1/2 of a diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder or chipotle chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, then add the corn and saute to lightly char. This takes about 8 - 10 min. Be careful to not burn, or over char the kernels.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix all other ingredients and blend well.
  3. When corn is done, gently fold into the Mayo/veggie mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Chill, then serve cold. Garnish with slices of red pepper, or sliced black olives.

Notes

This can be served as a salad, or a side dish and you can serve as a dip with tortilla chips.
