7 STEPS
1
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw completely before proceeding.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until corn is slightly charred.
3
Remove the skillet from heat and let the corn cool for a few minutes.
4
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, crumbled cotija cheese, diced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, and lime juice. Mix until evenly combined.
5
Fold in the cooled corn until well incorporated with the cheese mixture.
6
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
