Instructions
If using fresh or frozen corn, cook the corn until tender and allow it to cool. Drain canned corn if using.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the corn, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeño, and sliced green onions to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Squeeze in the juice of one lime and add the chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro or green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld together.
