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 tablespoon 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, mix the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Then add corn, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the corn is tender, about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, mix in cream cheese until melted and creamy. Stir in sour cream and cook until warmed throughout. If desired, thin with a splash of milk.
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter until golden. Mix in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix, plus a pinch of chili flakes and salt. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
- Combine the mayo and lime juice in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle the mayo mixture and spicy butter over corn. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
