Instructions

In a small skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the sweet corn kernels for 3-4 minutes until they are bright yellow and just beginning to develop a slight golden char. Transfer the hot corn to a small serving cup or bowl.

Immediately fold in the Greek yogurt; the heat from the corn will thin the yogurt, creating a creamy coating that clings to every kernel.

Top generously with the crumbled Cotija cheese, which adds a sharp, salty punch. Finish with a generous dusting of ground chile de árbol or ancho chile powder and a fresh squeeze of lime juice. Serve warm, eating with a small spoon to capture all the juices and spices at the bottom of the cup.
