Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (canned, drained or fresh)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 2 medium jalapeño peppers (finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoons chili powder

- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 medium lime (juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, chili powder, cumin, and paprika to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Gently fold in the charred corn. Add the lime juice, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and slightly bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
