Equipment

large mixing bowl
measuring cups and spoons
mixing spoon

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans Fiesta Corn, drained well (also known as Southwestern corn)
1 fresh jalapeño (diced)
1 cup sour cream (I use full fat)
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Duke's or Hellman's)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
2 green onions, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional (adds heat)

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve immediately, or chill for an hour to let the flavors blend together.
2 (15 ounce) cans Fiesta Corn, drained well, 1 fresh jalapeño, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice, 2 green onions, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos scoops! Crackers and crostini also work great.

Notes

This corn dip isn't super spicy, even with the fresh jalapeño added. However, if you include the seeds it's much hotter. If you don't like any spice, you can leave out the jalapeño and it will still taste amazing!
If you like things spicy, consider adding chili powder or cayenne pepper to kick up the heat. Cumin powder is also a nice touch if you like more southwestern flavor.
Make Ahead - Fiesta corn dip is actually better after a few hours in the fridge.
Leftovers - Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again. (Pro Tip: it tastes even better the next day.)
Freezing - I don't recommend freezing this dip since sour cream tends to break down during the freezing process and become grainy or separated.
