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.

Notes

Use fresh corn for the best flavor appeal.
Feel free to adjust the spiciness based on personal preference.
