- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
- 24 ounces whole kernel corn
- One lime

- Tajin and salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by adding oil to a pan and turning it to high heat (I used leftover bacon grease, but my other choice would be avocado oil).
- Drain and rinse your corn and cook it in the pan on high heat until the kernels begin to Brown
- Next add in your evaporated milk, and salt.
- Then, add in Mayo and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir the mixture together until the cheese starts to melt.

- Spritz the mixture with one lime
- Turn the burner down to low heat
- Sprinkle cilantro on top
- And top with Tajin, a little extra salt and more Chilli powder.
- Slice lime for the side
- And enjoy!
Notes
- You can store this for up to a week in the fridge
- Enjoy this with tortilla chips
- If you’d like a thicker consistency, add more cheese to the mixture.
