Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • two 15-ounce cans canned corn, drained and rinsed (frozen that you thaw and drain is okay or fresh corn that you first cook and cut off the ears is okay)
  • ½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 cups shredded cheese, divided (I used white cheddar; use your favorite Mexican shredded cheese blend)
  • 1 serrano chile or jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced very small; or to taste (serrano is hotter than jalapeno)

Seasonings:

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Garnish:

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro for garnishing, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the dip: In a large bowl, combine corn, crema, mayo, 2 cups of cheese, serrano or jalapeno, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to the baking dish.
  3. Add cheese: Top the mixture with the remaining 2 cups of cheese.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or serrano pepper.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste for a personalized flavor profile.
