You can also shuck the corn for a salad version for easier serving. Just cook the corn kernels in a bit of olive oil, then allow to cool and toss with the cheese mixture and toppings. If you don't have Mexican crema you can use sour cream and if you can't find Mexican Cotija cheese, you can use a some feta or even parmesan cheese.
