Great for summer time or year-round!
The recipe works great with frozen, canned or fresh corn when in season. During the summer months, char the corn right on the grill and toss in the dip for the perfect appetizer.
A blend of spices without being too spicy, but you have the option to turn up the heat with the addition of various peppers like jalapeño, habanero or the classic chili and poblano peppers.

Helpful tips before starting

Be sure to cook the onion and garlic on the stove top. It is an option to skip cooking them but you’ll lose flavor doing so.
If it’s a rainy day, you can get great cooked corn with some char in the house. All you need is an air fryer!
