Main Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet corn (about 2 cans, drained)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 6 ounces queso fresco (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, stir together sweet corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add cheese to dip: Crumble the queso fresco, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping. Fold the remaining cheese into the corn mixture to infuse the dip with creamy texture and authentic flavor.
