2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
1 pound frozen corn (about 3 cups), still frozen.
2 tablespoons mayonnaise.
1 bag (14 ounces) low-salt tortilla chips.
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated (don't buy pre-grated, it won't melt properly).
1 tablespoon cornstarch.
1 2 cups cream.
1 2 cups milk.
1 garlic clove, minced.
1 4 cups of grated cotija cheese (jar of minced feta).
1 8 teaspoons paprika (regular or smoked paprika can be used).
2 tablespoons of Mexican cream or 2 tablespoons of sour cream, slightly diluted with water.
1 2 limes, cut into wedges.
2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
Grill the corn and mix it with mayonnaise: heat the oil in a large cast iron pan on high heat. When the oil is almost hot, add half of the frozen corn (unthawed) to the pan. Spread it out in a pan and let it scorch.
Stir occasionally until most of the corn kernels are slightly browned on at least one side. When some of the corn kernels start to "pop", you know that the corn is ready.
Remove the corn from the pan into a bowl and repeat with the remaining frozen corn kernels.
Mix the corn with the mayonnaise and set aside.
Toast nachos: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the tortilla chips on a large saucepan and place in the oven for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
Make the cheese sauce: When the tortilla chips are baked, make the cheese sauce. Set up a double pot and add an inch of water to the bottom pot.
If you don't have a double pot, put an inch of water in a small saucepan and place a metal bowl on top so that the steam from the boiling water below heats the bottom of the bowl. Do not allow the bowl to come into contact with water.
Place the grated Monterey Jack cheese in a double-pot top pot or bowl. Mix with cornstarch. Pour in the cream and milk (you can use half and half if desired). Add minced garlic.
Heat the water in a double pot until it boils. Let the cheese melt gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth.
Assembling Tortilla Flakes:
Once the tortilla flakes are lightly browned, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a **.
Pour the cheese sauce over the fries. Sprinkle roasted corn on top. Sprinkle with grated cotija cheese. Sprinkle with paprika. Drizzle with cream or diluted sour cream. Sprinkle with parsley.
Sprinkle with a little lime juice and serve immediately with the lime wedges.
