2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Add corn and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn has softened, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the stove. Stir in cilantro, cotija, and black pepper. Squeeze lime juice on top or serve garnished with slices of lime.
