Start by putting a large skillet on medium heat and add the unsalted butter till it melts.

If you are using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob and if it is frozen, thaw it before adding it to the skillet. Let it cook without stirring for about 4 minutes, then stir and let it sit for another 4 minutes.

Do this a couple of times until the corn is golden brown. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and let the corn cool in a large mixing bowl.

In the same bowl, add in the drained black beans, finely chopped red onion, finely chopped pickled jalapeño, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped fresh cilantro.

Stir well to mix all the ingredients and then add your creamy dressing. Toss the salad until all the ingredients are completely coated with the dressing.

Serve the salad in individual bowls, topped with a generous sprinkle of crumbled tortilla chips.
