Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, undrained
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup pickled or fresh jalapeno slices, drained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: extra Cotija cheese, lime wedges, chili powder, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, drained Rotel, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, 1/2 cup Cotija cheese, cilantro, jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until it is well combined.
  4. Spread the dip mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the top with extra Cotija cheese, if desired.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, use fire-roasted corn instead of regular corn.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
  • You can prepare this dip mixture a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
