From the first bite, you get the immediate sweetness of the corn mixed with the creaminess of the chili lime mayonnaise. From there the flavors of the spices build with a little progression of the (not too much) heat from the serrano. The heat from the serrano doesn’t overwhelm your palette because it’s tempered by the mayonnaise and the cheese.
