Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Corn and Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the corn kernels and halved jalapeños on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dip

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, jalapeños (remove seeds if you prefer less heat), cotija cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cotija cheese and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips.
