- 1/2 cup mayo
- Juice from two limes, plus the zest of 1 of the limes

Method
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta to the water and cook for 8-9 minutes or until tender.
- Drizzle noodles lightly with olive oil, stir together and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl whisk together sour cream, mayo, and lime juice.
- Once the noodles have cooled, add corn, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, and green onions and tajin feta. Add in a couple pinches or kosher salt and a few turns of cracked black pepper. Add in the sour cream mixture and stir together until everything is coated and well combined.
- Top with an extra shake of tajin feta and a sprinkle of tajin seasoning.
