Preheat your grill to high heat

Brush the corn with the melted butter mixed with chili powder

Grill over high heat until the corn is cooked & slightly charred

Remove from the grill and cool

With a very sharp knife, remove the corn from the cob and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Discard the cobs. Stir in the mayo, sour cream & chicken stock. Add the lime juice, hot sauce, diced bell pepper and about 1/2 the cilantro. Stir to combine and fold in the Tex Mex cheese.

Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer the mixture to your baking pan and top with the cotija cheese.

Bake or return to a hot grill until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the grill & top with the rest of the cilantro

Serve with lots of tortilla chips for dipping and a wicked good margarita.
