Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss corn with a pinch of salt and spread in a single layer.
Step 2
Cook corn without stirring until charred on one side, ~3 minutes. Stir and cook another 2 minutes until edges are dark.
Step 3
Arrange tostada shells on the skillet (work in batches if needed). Top each with a handful of cheese.
Step 4
Cover with a lid or foil and cook over medium heat until cheese melts and shells are warm, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir sour cream with the juice of half the lime. Season with salt to taste.
Step 6
Top each tostada with charred corn, a drizzle of lime crema, and a few jalapeño slices. Serve immediately.
