In this Mexican Corn on the Cob recipe, the skewer stuck into the base of the cob makes for a pretty presentation and a convenient hand-held side dish that’s perfect for summer-time barbeques. But if you only have canned or frozen corn, separated into kernels, you can still enjoy the classic flavors. Simply heat 3 cups of corn according to package directions, place in a bowl and mix with remaining ingredients, omitting the oil, until combined.
