Chef's Tips
- •For optimal flavor, use fresh corn. If not available, frozen corn can be a good alternative.
- •For a spicy touch, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sautéed vegetables.
- •If Catupiry cheese is unavailable, a mixture of cream cheese (like Philadelphia) and grated mozzarella can serve as a creamy and melting substitute.
