Cook the corn: Grill, boil, or sauté the corn until tender and slightly charred, if desired. Let it cool slightly. You can also use canned/frozen corn.
Make the dressing: Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander, kosher salt, lime zest, lime juice, and feta. Stir until smooth.
Combine with corn: When the corn as cooked, slice the kernels off the cob and add into the bowl with the dressing. Mix to combine.
Mix in remaining ingredients: Add the black beans, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Garnish and serve: Top with extra feta, a few whole cilantro leaves, and a final squeeze of lime. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
Note 1: Remove the seeds completely if you don't want any heat. If you like heat, use your judgement on how many seeds to keep in the dish.
