Ingredients

For the Dip

2 cups 2% Plain Greek Yogurt The primary base for creaminess; avoid non-fat for the best texture.
0.5 cups Olive-Oil Mayonnaise Adds richness and smoothness; regular mayonnaise works as a substitute.
1 teaspoon Chili Powder Provides heat and a hint of smokiness.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances depth of flavor; feel free to use fresh garlic if you prefer.
1 teaspoon Cumin Imparts warm, earthy notes essential for an authentic Mexican taste.
3 cans Mexican-Style Corn Core ingredient for bulk and sweetness; often labeled as Fiesta corn.
16 ounces Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese Offers cheesy flavor while keeping calories lower.
4 large Green Onions Adds freshness and mild onion flavor; chives can substitute.
1 medium Jalapeño Imparts a touch of spice; adjust the amount to your heat preference.
1 splash Hot Sauce Optional, for extra heat when serving.

For Dipping

1 bag Fritos Scoops Recommended for dipping; tortilla chips or fresh vegetables can work well too.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of 2% plain Greek yogurt with ½ cup of olive-oil mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Use a whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Next, fold in three cans of drained Mexican-style corn, 16 ounces of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, 4 sliced green onions, and 1 chopped jalapeño. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the dip into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the Mexican Corn Dip from the refrigerator. If desired, add a sprinkle of hot sauce on top for an extra kick. Serve chilled with Fritos Scoops.
