Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Cook your corn. If using fresh on the cob, boil for 5-7 minutes or grill until lightly charred. Slice the kernels off the cob. If using frozen, microwave for 3-5 minutes until warm.
- Make the Base: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the fresh lime juice, chili powder, and half of the cheese and cilantro. Mix well.
- Combine: Gently fold the prepared corn into the creamy mixture with a spatula until every kernel is coated.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with the remaining cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: This dip is great on its own, but also pairs well with chicken wings or mini burgers. For a beautiful presentation, fan tortilla chips around the bowl on a large platter.
- Tips & Tricks: For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice. The acidity really makes the flavors pop. If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dip is best served chilled or at room temperature.
- Reheating: Do not reheat this dip, as it can change the texture of the creamy base. It’s meant to be enjoyed cold!
