Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 2 Scallions, sliced
- 1 Jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- (for serving) Tortilla chips or sliced veggies
Instructions
Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drizzle the corn kernels with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
If using a grill, place the corn in a grill basket or a sheet of aluminum foil and grill for about 7-10 minutes, occasionally stirring until the corn is lightly charred. If using a skillet, cook the corn directly in the skillet until charred, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the corn from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, half of the cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chopped cilantro, sliced scallions, finely diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the charred corn until evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining cotija cheese over the top.
Garnish with extra chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or sliced veggies.
