Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or small oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, drained green chiles, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup Cotija cheese, Parmesan cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and lime juice. Mix everything until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with extra Cotija cheese.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is lightly golden and bubbly.
  6. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a Crockpot Street Corn Dip variation, combine all ingredients, place in a small slow cooker, and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
  • If you prefer a cold street corn dip, skip the baking step. Chill the mixed dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • For extra flavor, roast the corn slightly in a dry skillet before mixing it into the dip base.
