Ingredients
- 3 cups corn kernels , (1 pound) fresh or frozen
- 1 4 ounce can roasted chiles
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro , chopped
- ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese , if making this a hot dip
Instructions
- Heat the frozen corn in the microwave for 3 minutes or until warmed. If using corn on the cob, grill the corn in its husks for 4-5 minutes or until tender and fragrant. Cut the corn from the cob and discard the cobs.
- Add the corn to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix the chiles, mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, garlic powder, kosher salt. Fold in 1 ½ tablespoons of the cilantro and half of the cojija cheese. Fold the mayonnaise mixture into the corn. Garnish with the rest of the cotija cheese and cilantro. Sprinkle with a few dashes of chile powder and serve with Kettle Brand potato chips.
Cup of Yum
To Serve Hot
- Before garnishing the corn dip, fold in 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Spoon into an oven-proof serving dish. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Garnish with the remaining crumbled cotija and chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Variations
- Instead of roasted chiles, substitute 1 ½ tablespoons seeded, minced jalapeño for the roasted chiles.
- Instead of sour cream, use full fat Greek yogurt instead. Avoid using low fat yogurt or sour cream as it will be runny and make the mayo mixture extra thin.
- For the no-cilantro-thank-you-very-much fans, use chopped green onion or finely minced parsley.
