Ingredients
Scale
- 60 ml mayonnaise
- 60 ml sour cream
- 15 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
- 320 g corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 5 ml chili powder, adjustable to taste
- 2.5 ml smoked paprika
- 2.5 ml ground cumin
- 1.25 ml cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and fresh lime juice until the mixture is fully smooth and homogenized.
- Fold the corn kernels into the creamy base, ensuring that each kernel is thoroughly coated. Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir well until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat until evenly heated.
