    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Char the corn in a hot dry skillet or on the grill until spotty and golden, about 8 minutes; cool slightly.
    2. Toss the corn with the poblano, tomato, red onion, and cilantro.
    3. Whisk the lime juice, oil, salt, pepper, and cumin; pour over the salad.
    4. Fold in the cotija and serve chilled or at room temperature.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Charring is the flavor move — don't skip it. Serve with grilled meats or inside tacos.
