Corn Dip

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil or butter
• 5 ears of corn, kernels removed
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• Salt & pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ cup cream cheese, room temperature
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2–4 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ cup crumbled feta, plus more for garnish
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add in the oil or butter along with the corn and green onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and lightly charred. Season with the chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne and continue to cook for 30 seconds. Remove the corn from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Add in the pickled jalapeño, to taste, along with the cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and feta cheese. Set a few tablespoons of the corn mixture aside and stir through the remaining corn.
3. Transfer to a serving dish and scatter with the reserved corn along with some extra feta and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
