Instructions

In a bowl, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add corn, chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the corn is softened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Mix in cream cheese until melted and creamy. Stir in sour cream and cook until warmed throughout. If desired, thin the dip with milk.
In a separate skillet, melt butter until golden. Mix in 3 teaspoons of spice mix, a pinch of chili flakes, and salt. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix mayo and lime juice with a pinch of salt.
Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle with mayo and spicy butter mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

For extra heat, adjust the cayenne pepper to your taste.
This dip is best served warm with crispy tortilla chips.
Feel free to substitute cotija cheese with feta cheese if not available.
