Skillet Elote Corn & Tomato Salad
It was my first time using a gas grill (a little scary, not gonna lie!), but I pulled together this super simple and flavorful Skillet Elote Corn & Tomato Salad. Sweet corn, juicy cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a buttery elote-style twist—it’s fresh, smoky, and perfect for summer. Sharing the recipe and what I learned from grilling for the first time!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 oz bag frozen sweet corn thawed
- 1 pt cherry tomatoes halved (~2 cups)
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 4 Tbsp salted butter
- 1½ tsp Trader Joe’s elote seasoning plus extra for garnish
- ¼ cup cotija cheese
- ~1 oz crumbled feta for topping
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients ahead of time. Keep everything nearby to make things easy once the grill’s hot.
- Preheat the side burner on your Weber Spirit Grill to medium heat.
- Add butter to a cast-iron skillet. Once melted, stir in the elote seasoning.
- Add the red onion, and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the corn and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the tomatoes blister and the corn gets a bit charred.
- Stir in the cotija cheese and cook for 1–2 more minutes, just until warm and slightly melty.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, top with feta cheese, and sprinkle with more elote seasoning to taste.
