Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chili powder

- 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, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt to mix spices.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add corn, chopped garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the spice mix into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until corn is softened, around 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat, mix in cream cheese until melted and creamy, then stir in sour cream and heat until warmed.
- In a separate skillet, melt butter until golden, mix in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix and a pinch of chili flakes, and cook for another minute before removing from heat.
- Combine mayo with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Spoon the prepared dip into a serving bowl. Top with grilled corn, drizzle with mayo and spicy butter, and sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. Serve with chips.
Notes
Adjust the level of cayenne pepper to control spiciness.
For a lighter version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
This dip can be served warm or at room temperature for parties.
