Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the corn

If using fresh corn, husk and cook 4-5 ears (either grill, boil, or roast). Cut kernels from cobs. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well. If using canned corn, drain thoroughly.

2
Char the corn (optional)

If desired, heat a skillet over high heat. Add corn kernels and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until charred in spots. Stir and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Let cool.

3
Prepare the aromatics

Finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Chop the cilantro.

4
Prepare the lime

Zest one lime to get 1 teaspoon of zest. Cut limes in half and squeeze to extract juice.

Mix the dip base

In a large bowl, combine mayo, most of the cheese (reserve some for topping), chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add lime zest and juice. Mix well.

6
Combine ingredients

Add corn, diced onion, minced garlic, and most of the cilantro to the mayo mixture. Stir until well combined.
