Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Char the Corn

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the fresh corn kernels and cook until they are slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the charred corn and crumbled cotija cheese to the bowl. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break the corn kernels.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Top the dip with chopped cilantro and additional crumbled cotija cheese if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with fresh hand-cut tortilla chips or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
