Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 cups corn kernels (from 4 to 5 ears corn)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco, plus more for garnish
  • 2 Tbsp. sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ancho chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste

  • Directions

    Active time: 15 minutes
    Total time: 30 minutes


    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook until solids begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add corn, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese, yogurt, sour cream, ancho chili powder, and salt. Cook until just warmed through, about 1 minute more. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and more salt to taste.

    Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with queso fresco and cilantro and serve warm or at room temperature, with vegetables or chips on the side for dipping.
