Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Add the green onions and cook until softened and fragrant.

Stir in the corn kernels and cook until slightly golden around the edges.

Sprinkle in the chili-lime seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add the cream cheese and stir continuously until melted and creamy.

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the sour cream, lime juice, and half of the Cotija cheese.

Fold everything together until evenly combined and smooth.

Spread the mixture into an even layer in the skillet.

Sprinkle the remaining Cotija cheese evenly across the top.

Bake until the dip is bubbling around the edges and lightly golden.

Switch to broil for a few minutes to create a beautifully browned cheese topping.

Remove from the oven and allow it to rest briefly.

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and additional sliced green onions.

Serve warm with your favorite dippers while the cheese is still gooey.
