- 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro more for topping, if desired
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 1-2 limes

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco more for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- In a greased slow cooker, add the frozen corn, diced green chiles, cream cheese, pepperjack cheese, sour cream, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, Tajin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking.
- Once cooked, set the slow cooker to WARM. Top the dip with crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco, and add extra cilantro and Tajin if desired.
- Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
For added flavor, consider grilling fresh corn on the cob and cutting it off the cob before adding it to the dip. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of Tajin or using a spicier cheese. Healthier options include substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream.
