  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 small can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheeses, sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, diced green chilies (if using), chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and combined.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning (add more chili powder or cumin for bolder flavor).
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend.
  5. Before serving, stir again and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
  6. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Would you like me to also give you a warm/baked version of this dip (gooey and cheesy)?
