A delightful and flavorful appetizer featuring grilled corn mixed with a creamy and zesty sauce, perfect for dipping with tortilla chips.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the husks are charred and the kernels are slightly caramelized.
Rotate the corn frequently to achieve even charring without burning.
Allow the grilled corn to cool slightly, then remove the husks and cut the kernels off the cob.
Use a sharp knife and a steady hand to safely remove the kernels.
In a sauté pan, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, pepper, and sugar. Heat gently over medium heat.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from separating.
Add the corn kernels to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Heat through for a few minutes.
Ensure the corn is evenly coated for the best flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and garnish with crumbled Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.
Add the garnishes just before serving for the freshest presentation.
Serve the dip warm with crispy tortilla chips on the side.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dip at its best temperature and texture.
