Corn and Cheese Dip

Ingredients

• 0.5 tbsp Butter
• 0.75 cup Corn
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (Heavy cream may also be used, according to the original description.)
• 0.5 cup Cotija cheese (Firm white cheese; crumbled or grated.)
• 1 tsp Mustard
• 0.5 tsp Paprika (Ground paprika.)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (Finely chopped.)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 0.25 tsp Chili powder (Optional.)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• Salt (1 pinch, or to taste.)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the corn and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and lightly browned. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cotija cheese, mustard, paprika, chopped cilantro, lime juice, optional chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

3. 3

   Add the warm corn to the cheese and mayonnaise mixture. Stir until evenly distributed, then taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

4. 4

   Serve the dip immediately, or refrigerate it for a few minutes to serve it chilled. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

The post provides the ingredients but does not include detailed instructions. The steps have been conservatively reconstructed from the ingredient list: the corn is sautéed in butter and then mixed with the remaining ingredients.
