Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Canned Goods

  • 214 ounce cans yellow corn, drained
  • 14 ounce can diced chiles
  • 1 large red or orange bell pepper, chopped

Dairy

  • ½ cup (123g) plain Greek yogurt (not vanilla; sour cream can be used as a substitute)
  • ¼ cup (52g) mayonnaise, light or full fat

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the drained corn, diced chiles, chopped bell pepper, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. This forms the creamy base for the dip.
  2. Add Spices: Sprinkle in chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Alternatively, you can substitute all the individual spices with 2 tablespoons of pre-made taco seasoning if preferred.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a large spatula, stir all the ingredients together carefully until the mixture is completely combined and evenly seasoned.
  4. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Enjoy it with corn chips, tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for salads or tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
  5. Store Leftovers: Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • You may use 2 tablespoons of pre-made taco seasoning in place of all the individual spices for convenience and an equally flavorful result.
  • For a tangier dip, sour cream can substitute the Greek yogurt.
  • Leftover dip should be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days for optimal freshness.
