Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 ears roasted corn
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cotija cheese
Creamy Base:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
Seasoning:
- 2–3 teaspoons Tajin seasoning
Instructions
- Carefully slice roasted corn kernels away from the cob, allowing them to fall into a medium saucepan.
- Combine all designated ingredients within the pan, then gently warm over medium-low temperature, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
- Continue heating the mixture until thoroughly warmed and ingredients are fully incorporated, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- For enhanced presentation, transfer the warm corn mixture into a cast iron skillet or baking dish, generously sprinkling additional cotija and cheddar cheese across the surface.
- Position the skillet under the broiler, setting it to high heat, and allow the cheese to melt and develop a delicate golden-brown crust, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, creating a vibrant and aromatic topping.
- Serve the dip alongside crisp tortilla chips or warm tortillas, offering guests a versatile and engaging appetizer.
- Preserve any remaining dip in a sealed container, consuming within three days to maintain optimal freshness and quality.
Notes
- Broiling creates a golden, crispy cheese topping that elevates the dip’s flavor and texture.
- Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbal punch that cuts through the rich, creamy cheese mixture.
- Storing in an airtight container helps maintain the dip’s delicious taste and prevents quick spoilage.
