  2. 2

    Mix the Dip

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted corn, Cotija cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional Cotija cheese and cilantro if desired. Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
