Mexican Corn

This is a simple side dish that feeds 4+.  

Ingredients
2.5 cups of corn
1/2 orange pepper diced
1/4 queso fresco cheese
1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped
1 t. cumin
1 t. basil
1 t. oregano
1/2 t. sea salt
1/2 lime, juiced


You can choose to use either fresh grilled corn and shave it off the cob, or use 2 10 oz. bags of frozen corn that you've heated up in the microwave.  It seriously tastes great either way, and if you are looking for a shortcut than go with the microwave.  Roast/grill the orange pepper until softened, then dice into cubes and add to the corn.  Add cumin, basil, oregano, and salt to the mixture next.  Add in your cilantro.  I tend to love cilantro, so I always add a lot, but if you are cilantro hater than you don't have to add it.  Crumble up the queso fresco.  You can chop it, but it's easier to just shred with your fingers.  Add in lime juice and give a toss.
