Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 ears corn on the cob grilled or charred in a cast iron (this is optional but gives more flavor)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 6 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese for garnish optional
  • tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  • Char the corn on the cob in a cast iron skillet or on the grill. Let it cool and then shave off the corn and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the cast iron skillet, then add the onion and corn and saute for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne together, then pour ¾ of the spice mixture into the skillet and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add the yogurt and cream cheese and cilantro to the skillet and whisk until the mixture is smooth; transfer to a bowl.
  • Sprinkle additional cilantro, the remaining spice mix and cojita cheese on top and enjoy!
  • NOTE; if the dip is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
