  • 2 cans whole kernel corn 15.25 ounce, undrained

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 pinch red chili powder to taste
  • 1 sprig cilantro for garnish

  • Add corn with liquid to a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until hot. Drain; return corn to the saucepan.

Notes

You can grate Cotija or you can dice it. I prefer the grated because it doesn't overpower the corn.
