Instructions

In a bowl, mix chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and a pinch of salt.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in corn, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until corn softens, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to low and incorporate cream cheese until melted and creamy. Add sour cream and warm through. Thin with milk if desired.
In a separate skillet, melt butter until golden. Add 3 teaspoons of the spice mix and a pinch of chili flakes and salt, cooking for another minute before removing from heat.
Mix mayo and lime juice with a pinch of salt.
Transfer the dip to a large serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle the mayo and spicy butter over it. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve with chips.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spiciness to your liking by modifying the cayenne pepper amount.
This dip is best served warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
For an extra creamy dip, consider adding more cream cheese or sour cream.
