Ingredients

Scale

Main 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 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 topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon and Combine Ingredients: Fry the bacon slices until crispy, then crumble them into small pieces. In a large 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 thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator. Chill the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken slightly.
  3. Serve: When ready to serve, give the dip a gentle stir, garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with Fritos Scoops or your preferred chips for dipping.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure to drain the corn and green chilies well to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
  • Can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavor.
  • If you prefer, use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for a different taste or dietary needs.
  • Adjust the chili powder amount to your preferred spice level.
