Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.5. Meanwhile, make the corn salad. Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, jalapeño, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Add the corn, avocado, cilantro, and pepperoncini. Toss to combine.6. Serve the enchiladas with the corn salad, Greek yogurt or sour cream, Cotija cheese, and pickled red onions.
Notes
For the best flavor, char the corn before making the salad. Place each ear directly over the gas flame of your stove, on the grill, or under the broiler. Cook for about 1 minute, turning until lightly charred and blistered. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cob.
