Equipment
- Mixing spoon
- Small cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen corn
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- salt
- For topping-
- Cotija cheese about 1/2 cup
- Extra chili powder
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges or wheels
Instructions
- Add the butter to a skillet and heat over medium heat, until melted.
- Turn the heat up to high, and wait 1-2 minutes.
- Add the frozen corn, and cook stirring occasionally. You want some of the corn to be a bit charred, but turn the heat back to medium if needed.
- Remove from the heat and stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, and salt to taste.
- Divide evenly among your cups (we made 3).
- Top with cotija cheese, an extra sprinkle of chili powder, chopped cilantro (optional), and a lime wedge or wheel.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level. Start with a small amount of chili powder or Tajín and add more to taste. A dash of hot sauce is great for extra heat.
- Prep ahead for parties. Make the creamy sauce and prep the toppings ahead of time, then cook the corn and assemble the cups just before serving.
