Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 30 oz southwest corn with poblano and red peppers (about 2 cans, drained)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or substitute with crumbled cotija cheese)
  • ½ teaspoon taco seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup cream cheese (softened or whipped; see notes)
  • 4 green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)

For Serving

  • 14 oz tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Drain and Prepare Corn: Drain excess liquid from the southwest corn with poblano and red peppers and add it to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Dip Ingredients: Add shredded cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, sour cream, mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, and chopped green onions to the bowl. Toss and blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  3. Serve with Chips: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and arrange tortilla chips around it on a large plate or platter for dipping.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle reserved chopped green onions on top of the dip for a fresh and colorful garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Use whipped cream cheese or let cream cheese reach room temperature to make it easier to blend with other ingredients.
  • Cheddar cheese is preferred in the dip, but you can add crumbled cotija cheese on top for an authentic street corn flavor.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator; stir well before serving.
  • If southwest corn with peppers is unavailable, substitute regular canned corn with freshly diced poblano and red peppers.
