Author's Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, add leftovers to a nonstick skillet with a little bit of milk or half & half, stirring occasionally, and gently heat until warmed through.

If you’d prefer to bake this dip rather than cook it on your smoker, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spoon mixture into a 2-quart baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, spread into an even layer, and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the cheese is hot and bubbling.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat oven and baking sheet to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
step 2
Husk Sweet Corn (4 ears) and cut kernels from the cob (or if using canned corn, drain and pat dry). Toss corn kernels with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and stir until evenly coated. Spread corn kernels on a hot baking sheet.
step 3
Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until evenly charred, stirring occasionally.
step 4
Fire up your pellet grill and preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C) using your favorite hardwood pellets.
step 5
Prepare the spice mix. In a small bowl, whisk together Smoked Paprika (2 tsp), Chili Powder (1 tsp), Ground Cumin (1 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp) until evenly blended, set aside.
step 6
Sprinkle roasted corn kernels with half of the spice mixture, tossing until evenly coated. Set aside.
step 7
Prepare the dip. In a large bowl, combine Cream Cheese (1 1/2 cups), Sour Cream (1 cup), Mayonnaise (1/2 cup), 2 Tbsp of Lime Juice (1), and remaining spice mix. Whip until light and fluffy.
step 8
Stir in Mild Diced Green Chiles (1 can), Jalapeño Pepper (1), Pimiento Pepper (1/2 cup), Red Onions (4 Tbsp), Scallions (4 Tbsp), Garlic (2 cloves), Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup), Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (1 cup), and half of the Pepper Jack Cheese (2 cups), and stir until blended.
step 9
Add spiced corn to the bowl (together with any fresh corn kernels if you are using them as well) and stir until blended. Taste and adjust with additional seasonings if desired.
step 10
Spoon mixture into an ungreased cast iron skillet and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with remaining pepper jack cheese and Cotija Cheese (1/2 cup).
step 11
Place on cast iron skillet in the preheated smoker, preferably in the middle of the grate to avoid any direct hot spots. Close the lid and smoke for 50-60 minutes or until the dip is golden brown and bubbling.
step 12
Serve hot with lots of crispy tortilla chips for scooping. Enjoy!
