Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 3 cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or feta)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, minced (optional, for spice)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Corn:

    • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred.
  2. Make the Dip:

    • In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Stir in charred corn, Cotija cheese, lime juice, and cilantro.
  3. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Transfer to a serving dish and top with extra Cotija cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
    • Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.

Notes

  • Make it extra cheesy by mixing in ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese and broiling for 5 minutes.
  • Want it spicier? Add extra jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • For a smoky twist, grill the corn before cutting it off the cob.
