- 4 ears corn husked fresh, and kernels cut from cob, 3 1/2 cups
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- salt
- 1/3 cup green onion or chopped red, if using red run under water and drain to remove harsh bite

- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 ounces cotija cheese finely crumbled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise light or regular
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice divided
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder then more to taste, I used part ancho chili powder part regular
- 1 1/2 avocados medium, semi-firm but ripe peeled, cored and chopped small
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Add corn, season with salt to taste and toss, then let cook, tossing only occasionally (about every 2 minutes) until corn is well charred all over (about 6 - 10 minutes total). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add corn to a medium bowl along with, onions, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, 3/4 of the Cotija, mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp lime juice and chili powder and toss. Pour remaining 1/2 Tbsp lime juice over diced avocados then add to bowl with corn mixture and gently toss. Top with remaining Cotija and additional chili powder to taste.
