  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. If using fresh or frozen corn, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly charred, then let it cool slightly.

  5. Add jalapeño if desired for extra heat.
  6. Mix until evenly combined.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Grill the corn for a smoky flavor.
  • Drain canned corn thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.

  • Stir before serving as ingredients may settle.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
