Ingredients
4 cups corn (about 5 ears, cut from the cob) 🌽
1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
½ medium red bell pepper, chopped 🌶️
½ small red onion, finely chopped 🧅
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 🌿
6 green onions, chopped 🧄
1 jalapeno pepper, diced 🌶️
½ avocado, chopped 🥑
4 tablespoons lime juice (from about 2 limes) 🍋

½ teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground 🌶️
¼ teaspoon salt 🧂
2 tablespoons sour cream (or yogurt) 🍶
2 tablespoons mayonnaise 🥄

Instructions
1️⃣ Cut the corn off the cob. You should get about 4 cups from 5 ears. Alternatively, you can use canned or frozen corn. If using frozen, no need to thaw. 🌽
2️⃣ Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the corn and stir. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the corn starts to char. If using frozen corn, cook a couple of minutes longer to get the right charred bits. 🍳
3️⃣ Transfer the corn to a large bowl and let it cool for a couple of minutes. 🥗
4️⃣ Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl: red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno, avocado, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, sour cream, mayonnaise, and cotija cheese. Stir everything together until well combined. 🌶️🧅🧄🥑
5️⃣ Adjust lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. 🌿🧂
6️⃣ Garnish with additional cheese and cilantro, if preferred. Enjoy! 🌟
