Instructions
- Remove the corn husks and silks, then cut the corn from the cob; you should have about 4 cups kernels.
- In a cast iron or similar large, sturdy skillet, heat the oil over medium high. Add the corn and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir to combine, then spread the corn into a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Stir the corn, spread back into an even layer, then cook 2 minutes more. Repeat two or three times more, until the corn is charred all over (this will take about 8 minutes). Be very careful and stand back as the corn may pop out of the skillet. Let cool in the skillet for two minutes and then transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the green onions, cilantro, feta (or cotija), yogurt (or sour cream), jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Serve right away.
