Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 Jalapeno pepper chopped
- Corn from 3 ears
- 1 tablespoon favorite hot sauce – I used a Louisiana style hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro + more for serving
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the cheeses together in a large bowl, but reserve a bit of the cheddar and cotija for a final topping.
- Stir in the jalapeno, corn, hot sauce, seasonings and cilantro.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- Top the dish with the remaining cheeses and bake for another 5 minutes. This will make the top nice and smooth and inviting.
- Remove and garnish with extra cilantro.

Notes
