Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Corn Dip
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream, ½ cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until completely smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of sweet corn, 1 can of Mexicorn, 1 can of Rotel, and 2 diced green chiles. Gently stir until evenly coated, taking about 2 minutes.
  3. Add ¼ cup of chopped green onions and ¼ cup of chopped cilantro. Fold in gently for another 1–2 minutes until combined.
  4. For a cold dip, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For a warm version, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), transfer to a casserole dish, and bake for 30–40 minutes until bubbly.
  5. Serve with crispy corn chips or tortilla chips. Enjoy warm or chilled.
