Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional for heat)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, corn, 1 1/2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
If you enjoy heat, stir in finely diced jalapeño for an extra kick.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top for a golden, bubbly finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the dip is hot and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping, and enjoy the fiesta of flavors!
