Ingredients

  • 1 (11 oz) can of corn, drained

  • 1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chiles
  • 1 whole chipotle pepper in adobo sauce seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can of chipotle peppers

Notes

  • Shred the cheese yourself: this step is important! Use a block of Monterrey Jack cheese and a block of cheddar and shred it yourself for the best taste and texture. It will taste so much better than pre-shredded cheese and melts beautifully!
  • Adjusting the spice level: This dip gets a little kick from the chipotle pepper, but I promise it's not too spicy. I remove all of the seeds from my chipotle pepper by cutting it open and scraping them out. You can leave the seeds in if you want it to be spicy (that's where the heat is.)
  • How to store: this dip is best eaten right away while it's hot and fresh, but leftovers are delicious too. If you have any leftover, just store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave to serve again.
