INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups corn kernels 2 cans (drained), frozen or fresh
- 12 ounces cream cheese 1 ½ blocks, softened
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 ½ cups Pepper Jack cheese divided
- 4 ounce can green chiles drained slightly
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves finely chopped, plus some leaves for garnish (parsley is fine)
- 3 green onions thinly sliced (1 tablespoon reserved for garnish)
- ½ cup cotija cheese for garnish if desired
- Hot sauce a few dashes for heat if desired
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart oval baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large cast iron skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, for several minutes or until most of the corn develops a char. (A cast iron skillet works best for this). Set aside until ready to use. You may need to do this in batches. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, I suggest roasting the corn in the oven – drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and roast for 15-20 in a 400 degree oven. (*reserve a couple tablespoons of roasted corn to garnish the finished dish).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder and chili powder. Gently mix in charred corn, green chiles, 1 cup of Pepper Jack cheese, green onions and cilantro. Sprinkle remaining Pepper Jack cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbly. If you want a more golden top, add a few minutes under the broiler.
- Garnish with reserved cilantro leaves, corn and cotija cheese. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
