  • Cheese: Substitute crumbled feta cheese, queso fresco or Parmesan for the cotija.
  • Make it Spicy: Add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Garnish: If you aren’t a fan of cilantro flavor, try garnishing with green onions or jalapenos.
  • Corn: Use fresh corn, cut from the cobb (cook it on the grill until slightly charred) or canned corn, drained.
  • Feed a Crowd: Double or triple this recipe as needed, it’s great to feed a crowd.
