1 cup mayonnaise
¾ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
45 ounces southwest corn, with poblano and red peppers and well drained (Del Monte brand) (3 15-ounce cans)
4 ounces chopped mild green chiles, drained
½ cup sliced green onions, plus additional for optional garnish
2 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno, seeds and membrane removed (from 1 large pepper)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, 8-ounce bag (Sargento brand)

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
To the bowl, add the southwest corn, mild green chiles, green onions, jalapeno pepper, and mexican cheese blend. Stir together until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to overnight, or until the Mexican street corn dip is completely chilled.
Before serving, transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and a pinch of chili powder if desired.

Be sure to drain the southwest style corn very well before adding to the rest of the ingredients to ensure the creamy texture of the dip does not get watered down too much as it sits and chills.
The Mexican cheese blend can be substituted with monterey jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, shredded cheddar cheese or a combination of these cheeses.
Full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise are best to use to ensure your dip is nice and creamy.
For added heat, you can add additional minced jalapeno or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the corn dip mixture if desired.
You can substitute the spices in this recipe for 1 - 1 ½ teaspoons of ELOTE seasoning blend if desired for a slightly spicier dip.
