2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeds and white ribs removed, and finely diced (you could also use shishito peppers or a bell pepper)

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup mayonnaise

Turn the broiler on high on you oven.
Heat the 1 teaspoon of neutral oil over medium heat in a medium sized non-stick or stainless steel pan. Add the corn mixture, and cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes, or until the corn is just cooked. Move to a pie dish or other shallow baking dish that is broiler safe, and top with the queso fresco.
