Mexican-Style Street Corn Dip
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn shucked
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup cotija cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro plus more to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice 2 to 3 limes, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high at least 30 minutes.
- Place corn directly on grill and cook, turning frequently, until charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside, and cool slightly.
- Grill the whole jalapeño until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine remaining ingredients.
- Once corn has cooled slightly, remove kernels from cob using a sharp knife. Remove seeds and ribs from the jalapeño (or leave in for extra heat), and chop finely. Add corn and jalapeño to bowl containing other ingredients.
- Season with salt and more cilantro and lime juice, if desired. Serve at room temperature or warmed briefly in a small saucepan until heated through.
