Ingredients:

• 6 ears roasted corn 🌽
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise 🥄
• 1/2 cup sour cream 🍶

• 2-3 teaspoons Tajin seasoning (we prefer 2 teaspoons in the dip, then more sprinkled on top) 🌶️

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Corn: Start by cutting the corn kernels off the roasted ears. Place the corn in a medium saucepan or skillet.

2️⃣ Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cotija cheese, and Tajin seasoning to the pan with the corn.

3️⃣ Heat the Dip: Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the dip is heated through.

5️⃣ Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving. This adds a burst of color and freshness that pairs beautifully with the rich, creamy dip.
