Instructions

In a large bowl, combine corn, onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos, and stir.
Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and add all the spices. The lemon juice will help the dry spices stick to the vegetables.
Pour the spiced vegetables into the air fryer basket.
Set your airfryer to 400F for 10 minutes and stir halfway.
Add queso fresco (or cotija, or feta cheese), chopped cilantro and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix well before serving.
