Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
  • 2 cans Southwest style corn, drained (about 15 oz. each)
  • 1 can chopped green chilies (4 oz.)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream (can substitute with Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp chili powder

For Serving

  • 1 large bag Fritos Scoops
  • Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bacon: Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  2. Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the crumbled bacon, drained Southwest style corn, chopped green chilies, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, and chili powder. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken.
  4. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top if desired. Serve the dip cold alongside a large bag of Fritos Scoops for dipping.

Notes

  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and slightly healthier option.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the green chilies and chili powder.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit bacon and consider adding smoked paprika to mimic a smoky flavor.
  • Ensure to drain the corn well to avoid a watery dip.
  • Best served chilled for optimal flavor and texture.
