Note
For extra richness, add a dollop of avocado crema or a sprinkle of queso fresco on top.
If fresh corn is not available, you can use high-quality canned or frozen corn kernels, though grilling them first adds superior flavor.
Any leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
