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 to taste
- 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
- In a bowl, combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the corn, chopped garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook until the corn is softened, around 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Mix in the cream cheese until it's melted and creamy, then stir in the sour cream. Heat the dip through, adjusting consistency if needed with milk.
- In another skillet, melt the salted butter until golden, mixing in 3 teaspoons of the spice mixture and a pinch of chili flakes and salt. Cook for an additional minute before removing from heat.
- Combine the mayo with lime juice and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Spoon the dip into a large serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle the lime mayo and spicy butter over the top. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve with plenty of chips.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the level of spice with cayenne pepper according to your taste.
For an extra kick, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the dip.
This dip can be made ahead of time; just reheat gently before serving.
