• 10 g butter
• 10 g cilantro
• 5 g chili powder
• 2 g salt

Method

1. 1. Sauté the corn in the butter over high heat until charred in spots, ~5–7 min. Let it cool slightly.
2. 2. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder into a dressing.
3. 3. Toss the corn, halved cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and half the cotija with the dressing; season with salt.

Notes

If you have a grill, grilling the corn instead of sautéing gives it more char.
