Sweet Corn and Jalapeno Dip image

Spicy dip that goes great with tortilla chips. It is easy to make and very addictive. I created this recipe after trying something similar at a local eatery many years ago. I worked with the ingredients to come up with a unique dip that compliments tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 oz cream cheese
3/4 c sour cream
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
2 or 3 Tbsp canned jalapeno slices, finely chopped (can vary according to taste or spiciness) or you can use fresh if desired-make sure the fresh are seeded and chopped
15 oz can of super sweet yellow and white corn, well-drained
2 c shredded mexican blend cheese, divided into 1 ½ cups and ½ cup

Steps:

  • 1. 1. In large bowl combine cream cheese and sour cream and beat until smooth.
  • 2. 2. Beat in taco seasonings and jalapenos. Beat into this mixture one of the 1 1/2 C of the shredded cheese.
  • 3. 3. Fold in the corn and mix well.
  • 4. 4. Place mixture into a 9-inch square or comparable sized prepared baking dish (sprayed with non-stick).
  • 5. 5. Cover the top with the remaining 1/2 C of the shredded cheese.
  • 6. 6. Garnish top with a few sprinkles of taco seasoning.
  • 7. 7. Bake at 300 degrees F until cheese is melted and bubbly. Be careful not to overbake because the dip will lose the creaminess--you just want to get it heated through but retain the creaminess.
  • 8. 8. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
