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 (or substitute Greek yogurt)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp chili powder

To Serve

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

Instructions

Prepare Bacon: Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the crumbled bacon, drained Southwest style corn, chopped green chilies, mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, and chili powder. Stir all the ingredients together until the dip is well combined.
Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the dip. Serve chilled with Fritos Scoops for dipping.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier and lower-fat option.
Adjust chili powder according to your heat preference.
For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and consider adding smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
Make ahead of time to let flavors develop; this dip can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Use Fritos Scoops or sturdy chips to hold the thick dip effectively.
