Cotija & Corn Tacos with Mango & Lime

This Martha Stewart Living recipe is fast, vegetarian, and no cook. What could be better during the long, hot summer?! These were totally refreshing and even my meat-loving husband has enjoyed these twice since the thermostat started rising without complaining once.

COTIJA & CORN TACOS WITH LIME & MANGO


Recipe Notes
If you can't find cotija cheese, which is a mild Mexican cheese, you can substitute good-quality feta.

Ingredients

• Fresh corn kernels (from 4 ears of corn)
• 3 oz. cotija or mild feta cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
• 2 tsp. finely-grated lime zest
• 2-1/2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 c. chopped cilantro leaves
• 1/4 c. thinly-sliced scallions (green onions)
• Coarse salt
• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 ripe mangos, peeled and sliced into long, thin strips
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Combine corn, cheese, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, cayenne pepper, cilantro, and scallion in a bowl. Mix well to combine.

2.  Warm tortillas over a gas burner until slightly blistered and charred.  Fill with mango slices and corn filling and garnish with limes.
