Mexican Street Corn Cups 🌽

Ingredients:

4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or feta cheese)
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions:

Prepare the Corn:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly charred and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. If using frozen corn, cook until fully thawed and heated through.
Mix the Sauce:

In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
Combine:

Add the cooked corn to the bowl with the sauce and stir to coat the corn evenly.
Serve:

Spoon the corn mixture into serving cups or bowls.
Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
