Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained canned corn, thawed frozen corn, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup of the cotija cheese, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese and 1/4 cup cotija cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except the top layer of cheese. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cook until melted.
  • If you prefer more heat, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • You can substitute Mexican cotija cheese with feta cheese if necessary.
