Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 2 (11-ounce) cans Mexicorn, drained
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

To Serve

  • Tortilla chips or crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained Mexicorn, diced green chiles, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly mixed to create a creamy, flavorful base.
  3. Prepare to Bake: Spread the dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, making sure it is level to ensure even baking and a consistent texture throughout.
  4. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the top is golden brown, indicating that the cheeses have melted and the flavors melded together.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and immediately garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro for a fresh flavor boost and colorful presentation. Serve the dip warm alongside tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or substitute pepper jack cheese for Monterey Jack cheese.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated in the baking dish, and then baked just before serving to save time.
