Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Mix the Dip Ingredients
- Mix Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Corn and Cheese: Stir in the Mexicorn, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced jalapeños, and taco seasoning (if using). Mix everything until evenly combined.
Step 3: Bake the Dip
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the mixture into a greased baking dish (about 8×8-inch works well).
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
- Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
Tips for Success
- Spice Level: If you like it spicier, add more jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. If you prefer a milder dip, reduce the jalapeños.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the dip ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve!
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Pepper Jack for extra spice or use a blend of your favorites.
