- 2 tablespoons EACH: melted butter (cooled) AND lime juice
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon EACH: salt AND ancho chili powder (cayenne works, but use less)
- 1 pound roasted corn, defrosted/drained (regular corn kernels work too!)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- BASE: Whisk together the melted butter, lime juice, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Season with garlic powder, salt, and ancho chili powder.
- EVERYTHING ELSE: Add the corn, cilantro, jalapeƱos, Cotija cheese and using a rubber spatula, stir to combine. Taste and adjust with additional seasonings as desired.
- SERVE: Allow to cool for several hours (it intensifies the flavors even more) or serve immediately along with tortilla chips.
