To Serve Dip Hot
- Before charring corn and jalapeno, preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8” cast iron skillet or similarly sized oven safe serving dish/skillet.
- Spread mixture into skillet and top with cotija cheese and half of the Tajin seasoning.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with remaining Tajin, and additional minced cilantro, add a squeeze of lime juice, then serve with tortilla chips.
To Serve Dip Cold/Room Temperature

Notes
- Follow the first 3 steps of this recipe, for both hot and cold versions of this dip.
- There are several varieties of Tajin seasoning, but I use the Classico variety. I bought mine on Amazon, but your local grocery store will likely carry it as well.
