For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, garlic and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.

For the salad: Prepare a grill pan or grill for medium-high heat. Grill the corn until nice and golden, with good grill marks on the kernels, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool a bit, then cut the kernels off the cobs.

Add all the salad ingredients to a bowl in layers: first the lettuce, followed by the tomatoes, corn, red onions, cheese and tortilla chips.

Pour the dressing into a small serving bowl and serve alongside the salad.

Personal Notes:
We saw this salad dressing recipe during an episode of "Pioneer Woman" on HGTV, summer 2015. She served Mexican Salad, Green Chili Chicken Sandwiches and Taco Potatoes in this episode. I think our Lemonade Pie is always good with Mexican food too!
