Ingredients
Scale

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