Place a dry cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add corn directly to the skillet. Stirring occasionally, heat corn until it is nicely browned, about 5-10 minutes. Place toasted corn in a medium bowl.
Add the shredded pepper jack cheese to the corn, and stir to combine (the cheese will start to melt). Add the red onions, salt, paprika, Chipotle Paste, and sour cream, to the large bowl with the corn mixture. Mix gently to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl, roughly mash the avocados. Add the mashed avocado to the larger bowl with the other ingredients, and mix to combine. Taste for seasonings, adding more salt and chipotle paste as desired.
Garnish with addition toasted corn, chopped chives, or chopped onion if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
