Ingredients  

  • 2 tablespoons butter, I prefer unsalted
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 small red pepper, diced
  • 4 cups corn kernels, frozen, canned or fresh if canned, about 2 15.25oz cans
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lime, juiced about 2 tbsp
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  1. Melt butter over saucepan over medium high heat and add zucchini and red pepper. After a few minutes, add corn, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, paprika, chili powder, garlic and lime juice.
  2. Stir in mayo and sautee for a few minutes, or until cheese begins to melt.
  3. Top with additional cheese, if desired.

Notes

If you like more spice, you can add red pepper flakes. Or, if you want more herb flavor, cilantro or basil would be delicious too!
