Step 1: Sauté Aromatics

First, heat your olive oil. Use a medium oven-safe skillet. Cook it over medium heat. Add your chopped yellow onion. Sauté until it’s nice and soft. This takes about 5 minutes. Then, add your minced garlic. Cook for just 1 minute more. You want it to smell amazing, not burnt.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, it’s time to mix the creamy goodness. Grab your mayonnaise and sour cream. Add your fresh cilantro. Mix in the grated Parmesan and crumbled cotija cheese. Sprinkle in the chili powder. If you like it spicy, add the cayenne pepper now. Stir it all together until it’s smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Mix and Season

Now, add the corn and green chili mixture. Stir it into the creamy cheese blend. Make sure everything is coated nicely. This is where you taste and adjust. Add salt and black pepper as needed. Sasha’s motto is “taste as you go!” This ensures your dip is just right.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Spread the dip evenly in your skillet. Make sure it’s a nice, even layer. Pop it into your preheated oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C). Give it about 20 to 25 minutes. You want it to be hot and bubbly. A light golden brown on top is perfect. Serve it right away!
