Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen corn, thawed

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded

1-2 fresh jalapeños, seeds removed and finely diced (adjust for desired spice level)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped finely

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the jalapeños: Begin by rinsing the fresh jalapeños under cool water. Carefully slice them open, discarding the seeds for a milder flavor, or leaving some intact for extra heat. Dice the jalapeños finely and set aside.

    Mix the creamy base: In a large mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, combine these ingredients until the mixture is silky and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Incorporate the flavors: Add the freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese, finely diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl. Using a spatula, gently mix until all ingredients are well integrated.

        Add the corn: Carefully fold in the thawed corn, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture without mashing the corn kernels.

          Chill (optional): For an enhanced flavor experience, cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to develop beautifully; however, if time is short, the dip can also be enjoyed immediately.

            Serve: Once ready to serve, transfer the corn dip to a stylish serving bowl. For an extra touch, garnish with additional chopped green onions or a light dusting of smoked paprika, and serve alongside crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
