Servings 10
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large poblano peppers (chopped)
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 cups frozen corn
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 6 oz sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar
- salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- Sauté the chopped poblano peppers and onion in a cast iron skillet over medium heat with about 1 tbsp of olive oil for about 5 mintutes.
- Stir in the frozen corn and allow it to warm for a minute.
- Set aside about 1/2 cup of your shredded cheddar and then stir in the remaining ingredients. I would start with about 1 tsp of salt and then do a taste test to see if you'd like more.
- Top the mixture with the remaining cheddar cheese and then transfer the cast iron skillet to your oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until warm and bubbly.
- You can optionally garnish with an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika, cilantro, or diced green onions.
- Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips! This dip is just as good at room temperature and stays warm for a long time thanks to the hot skillet it's baked in.
Notes
Don't have a cast iron skillet? No problem! You can make this dip as instructed in a regular skillet or pan, and then transfer the mixture into an 8x8 or 9x9 glass or ceramic baking dish.
