1 c monterey jack cheese with jalapeno, shredded

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.

  • Don't overcook the rice. The risotto should be alDokumentdente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add the cheese at the end of cooking, and stir until melted. This will prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
