Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Cotija cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. If serving hot, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If serving cold, proceed to the next step.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, undrained Rotel, softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  4. For hot dip: Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Top with Cotija cheese if desired before serving hot.
  5. For cold dip: Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Top with Cotija cheese if desired before serving cold.
  6. Serve the corn dip with tortilla chips, Fritos, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, briefly sauté the drained corn in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter before mixing it into the dip base.
  • If you like spice, add 1/4 cup of diced pickled jalapeños to the mixture.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker set to low for 1-2 hours for easy serving at gatherings.
