CHEESY CORN DIP
It's impossible to resist the smoky, spicy allure of the corn dish sold by street vendors throughout Mexico and parts of Central America often referred to as simply, "elotes." It commonly consists of roasted corn slathered with mayonnaise and topped with cheese, chile powder and lime. The addition of cream cheese and sour cream turns that winning flavor combo into a delicious dip. Salty, crumbly feta stands in for the more traditional Cotija.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook, turning occasionally, until bright yellow all over and charred in spots. Alternatively, you can cook the corn on the grill. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cobs and let them cool completely.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese with the sour cream, mayonnaise, 3/4 cup of the feta, the jalapeño, scallion, cumin, the 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and chopped cilantro in a large bowl. Fold the corn kernels into the dip. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the remaining feta, cilantro leaves and chili powder. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.
