Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2–2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, to your taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups corn (3–4 raw)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/3 cup olive oil mayo (or use plain Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 ear grilled corn, kernels removed from the cob
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Mix spices: In a bowl, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, garlic, spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until corn is softened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until melted and creamy, then mix in sour cream until warmed throughout. Thin the dip with milk if desired.
- In a separate skillet, melt butter until golden. Mix in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix, along with a pinch of chili flakes and salt. Cook for another minute before removing from heat.
- Combine mayonnaise and lime juice with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Spoon the dip into a wide serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle the mayonnaise and spicy butter over the corn. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro on top. Serve with chips for dipping.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your heat preference.
For a lighter dip, substitute Greek yogurt for mayo.
Serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or pita for dipping.
