Instructions
- Mix the spices. In a bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add the corn, garlic, 2 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mix, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the corn is softened, 5 minutes.

- In a separate skillet, melt the butter until golden. Mix in 3 teaspoons of the spice mix, plus a pinch of chili flakes and salt. Cook another minute, then remove from the heat.
- Mix the mayo and lime juice with a pinch of salt.
- Spoon the dip into a wide serving bowl. Top with grilled corn and drizzle the mayo and spicy butter over the corn. Sprinkle on the cheese and cilantro. Serve with lots of chips for scooping!
