| Cooking Time | 10-15 minutes |

| Level of Difficulty | Easy |
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese (freshly grated for better texture)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup roasted corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer Fage 0%)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best creaminess)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- black pepper to taste
Step 1: Sauté the Corn
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the corn kernels to the skillet.
Cook the corn for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels become slightly charred and golden.
Step 2: Cool the Corn
Remove the skillet from heat and let the charred corn cool for a few minutes.
This will help prevent the cottage cheese and yogurt from heating up when mixed.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled corn with cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Cotija cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and lime juice.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 4: Season and Garnish
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro, lime zest, and a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning for extra flavor.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the corn mixture with warm tortilla chips for a delicious and creamy dip.
Enjoy your tasty snack or appetizer!
