Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ears of corn
  • olive oil, salt, and pepper as desired to cook the corn
  • 2 white corn tortillas
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (1-2 large limes)
  • ½ cup cotija cheese
  • fresh chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Grill the Corn

  1. Shuck the corn completely, removing all the husks and silks. Brush the corn with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and have nice char marks.

Masa Paste

  1. Make the "masa paste" by tearing 2 white corn tortillas and placing them into a small bowl.
  2. Add ½ cup boiling water. Let rest for 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the corn tortillas with the water to a blender.
  4. Blend for 45 seconds or until a paste forms.

Putting it All Together

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, masa paste, spices, and lime juice. Be sure to whisk well to break up any yogurt clumps and create a smooth, dreamy dip.
  2. Finally, cut the corn off the cob and add it to the seasoned yogurt. Add cotija cheese and fold to combine.
  3. Garnish with fresh cilantro, corn, and cotija cheese (optional).
