Ingredients

8 ears corn, shucked
2 medium green onions, chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon Mexican-style hot sauce (such as Valentina®)
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 ½ teaspoons ground ancho chile powder
⅓ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Grill corn for 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. Transfer corn to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut kernels off the cobs.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and jalapeno and cook for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Reduce heat to low and stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in corn and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Sprinkle chile powder over the top and garnish with cotija cheese.
