Servings: 4-5
Ingredients
4 large ears of sweet corn
1 ½ cups Cotija cheese (fresh if possible)
¾ cup Dean’s French Onion Dip
¼ cup jalapeños, sliced
Small sprig of Cilantro
Chili powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill. Alternatively, you can cook the corn on the stove.
Step 2
If using the grill, place corn cobs on grates and cook, turning every 2 minutes until done. If using stove, place a large skillet on high heat. Allow skillet to heat completely for 3 minutes. Place corn cobs directly on the skillet (do not use oil). Rotate corn in pan until char is even around the cob.
Step 3
Allow corn to cool slightly, then cut kernels off cob and place into a large bowl.
Step 4
Add Dean’s French Onion Dip, jalapeños, and half of your cotija cheese. Place mixture into an 8” cast iron skillet or other ovenproof dish. Cover with the rest of the cotija cheese. Place skillet into oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Step 5
While your dip is baking, chop cilantro for garnish. Once done, remove dip from oven and top with chili powder, an additional scoop of Dean’s French Onion Dip, and cilantro. Serve hot with your favorite chips or other vessel of choice!
