Ingredients

3 (11 oz) cans MexiCorn (sweet corn with diced red and green peppers), drained
1 (7 oz) can chopped green chiles
1 (6 oz) can chopped jalapeno peppers, drained (reserve liquid to add to taste)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (16 oz) package shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2-3 bags Fritos Scoops corn chips, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the drained MexiCorn, chopped green chiles, jalapeno peppers (start with less liquid and add to taste), and chopped green onion.
Step 2: Add mayonnaise, sour cream, pepper, garlic powder, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3: Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
Step 4: Serve chilled with Fritos Scoops corn chips for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add more jalapeno liquid or some diced fresh jalapenos.
Swap sharp cheddar for pepper jack cheese to add a smoky twist.
If you prefer a lighter dip, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for added color and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover corn dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again. This dip is best served cold and does not require reheating.
