# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup mayonnaise
02 - ¾ cup sour cream
03 - ½ teaspoon chili powder
04 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
07 - 45 ounces southwest corn, well-drained (3 cans featuring poblano and red peppers)
08 - 4 ounces chopped mild green chiles
09 - ½ cup sliced green onions
10 - 2 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno, seeds and membrane removed
11 - 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This forms the flavorful foundation of the dip.
02 - Gently fold in southwest corn, chopped mild green chiles, sliced green onions, and minced fresh jalapeno. Stir until evenly combined, creating a colorful blend.
03 - Add shredded Mexican cheese blend to the mixture, stirring to ensure even distribution of the cheese.
