Equipment

  • 10-inch ovenproof skillet
  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 whole scallions thinly sliced (dark green portion kept separate)
  • 16 ounces frozen corn kernels or 3 cups fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin or Trader Joe's Everything but the Elote Seasoning Blend

  • ¼ cup light sour cream

  • chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Adjust an oven rack in the center and another 6-inches from the broiler, and preheat to 350℉.
  • In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the scallion greens for garnish. Add the white and light-green parts to the skillet along with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the corn and seasoning. Continue to saute until the corn starts to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until it is fully incorporated.
  • Remove the pan from heat and fold in the sour cream along with ¾ cup of the Cotija. Transfer to the oven and bake until the edges start to bubble and brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese over the top and transfer to the rack under the broiler. Broil until browned (watch carefully so it doesn't burn), 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the reserved scallion greens and some cilantro over the top. Serve immediately.
