Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen corn kernels (thawed)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until well combined.
2. Add the corn, green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until evenly combined.

Step 3: Bake the Dip

1. Transfer the dip mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish (or similar size).
2. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle extra cheese on top if you like it extra cheesy.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown on top.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Once the dip is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness and flavor.
3. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Tips for Success:

• For extra heat: Add finely chopped jalapeños or use jalapeño cheddar cheese for an extra spicy kick.
• For a creamier texture: Use a bit more sour cream or add cream cheese into the mix for a richer dip.
• Add protein: To make it more substantial, you can add shredded chicken or crumbled bacon for an added layer of flavor.
• Make ahead: This dip can be prepared a day in advance. Just assemble everything and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
