Instructions

In a bowl, mix the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the corn and chopped garlic, along with 1 teaspoon of the spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the corn softens, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and mix in the cream cheese until melted and creamy. Stir in the sour cream and cook until warmed throughout. Add milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter until golden, then stir in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix along with a pinch of chili flakes and salt. Cook for another minute before removing from heat.
Mix the mayo with fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Spoon the dip into a wide serving bowl, top with grilled corn, and drizzle the mayo and spicy butter over everything. Finish with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve with chips for dipping!

Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of cayenne pepper to match your spice preference.
Serve immediately for the best flavor, but the dip can be warmed up if made in advance.
This dip pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
