Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeño, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Stir in the roasted corn kernels and lime juice. Mix until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x9-inch (or similarly sized) baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
If desired, garnish the dip with freshly chopped cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the Mexican Corn Dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
