Instructions

Follow These Steps - For Both Versions

  1. Heat oil in large skillet over MED HIGH heat.  Add corn and jalapeno to the skillet and spread into an even layer.  Cook, without stirring, for about 3 minutes.  Stir and cook another 2-3 minutes without stirring again.  Set aside, off the heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, ancho chile powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and cilantro.  Whisk until smooth.
  3. Stir in corn and jalapeno mixture, then stir in crumbled queso fresco cheese.

  2. Spread mixture into skillet and top with cotija cheese and half of the Tajin seasoning.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

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.
