Directions

Step 1: Make cheese sauce

In a small pot, bring heavy cream to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Mayan Sea Salt, and Mexican Street Corn Seasoning. Whisk until well combined. Let mixture simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 to 7 min., then remove from heat.

On a serving platter, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Top with cheese sauce, corn mixture, cotija, Mexican Street Corn Seasoning, sour cream mixture, and cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
