Cold and creamy, with a slight kick from the taco seasoning and sweetness from the corn. There is also a smokey element from the smoked paprika and fire-roasted corn. An utterly addictive dip, perfect for summer.
Add the sour cream, cream cheese, corn, rotel, cheddar, taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika to a large bowl.
Mix will with an electric hand mixer.
If you are going to serve immediately, add the cilantro and mix to combine.
If you are making ahead, cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. Add the cilantro and mix it in well right before serving with your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
If you don’t like spicy, I suggest using a mild seasoning packet and mild Rotel.
If you want an extra kick, use a hot seasoning packet or add some cayenne, your favorite hot sauce, or chipotle powder. You could even dice up your favorite hot peppers and add them in.
Pepperjack, White Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack would all be good in place of the Cheddar for this cheesy dip.
Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days,
I do not suggest freezing.
For the best results, use an electric mixer to ensure everything is well combined.
