Notes
Corn can be quickly defrosted in a microwave-covered dish with 2 tablespoon water for 3-4 mins. Drain before proceeding.
Non-fat Greek yogurt makes a great substitute for sour cream if you want to lighten the recipe up a bit.
Cotija has a very unique taste that's on the dry side with a sharp salty tasty, however, if you can't find it the texture of feta is pretty similar. Freshly grated parmesan or a salty crumbly cheese like the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar would be great too.
We love to add chopped grilled or roasted chicken to make this a high protein one dish meal!
