Helpful Tips
- Corn to use – You can use canned corn or corn on the cob, either works great. If you have extra time you can even char the corn first.
- Don’t forget the cotija cheese – Its salty, crumbly texture adds an authentic touch to the dish.
- Serve with mini spoons or tortilla chips – Let guests scoop up every last bite or use chips for a crunchy twist.
