# Ingredients:

→ Saucy Mix

01 - 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
02 - 1/4 cup sour cream
03 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise

→ Corn and Spices

04 - 2 cups corn kernels (use fresh, canned, or frozen - whatever works!)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (leave it out if you like things mild)
06 - 1 teaspoon chili powder - adjust the kick as you like it
07 - 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together mayo, sour cream, and lime juice in a big bowl until smooth and combined.
02 - Toss your corn into that creamy mixture and stir till every piece is well-coated.
03 - Scatter in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, and optional cayenne. Stir thoroughly to mix the flavors evenly.
04 - Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat to get it ready for cooking.
05 - Scoop small spoonfuls of the corn mixture into your skillet. Let each side cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
06 - Place the crispy bites on a plate and dress them up with cilantro, queso fresco, or a pinch of chili powder if you're feeling fancy.

# Notes:

01 - These fun bites are a twist on Mexican street corn (elote) and great for sharing at gatherings!
