Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shoepeg corn and Mexican-style corn.
Add the finely chopped jalapeño peppers, sliced green onions, and diced red bell pepper to the bowl. Mix to evenly distribute the veggies.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well coated.
Fold in the shredded Mexican cheese blend and chopped cilantro for added flavor and texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more salt, lime juice, or spices based on your preference).
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra chopped cilantro or a sprinkle of paprika for presentation.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
