Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the corn, chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of the spice mix, and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook until the corn is softened, approximately 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the cream cheese, stirring until it melts and becomes creamy. Stir in the sour cream, cooking until warmed throughout. If desired, thin the dip with milk.
In a separate skillet, melt the salted butter until golden. Mix in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix, a pinch of chili flakes, and salt. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
Combine the olive oil mayo and fresh lime juice with a pinch of salt.
Spoon the dip into a wide serving bowl. Top with grilled corn, then drizzle with the mayo and spicy butter. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve warm with chips for scooping.

Notes

Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the spice level to your preference.
Replace cotija cheese with feta for a different flavor profile.
Serve with a variety of chips for a fun, dipping experience.
