Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 3-4 ears Sweet Corn Fresh corn provides the sweetest base; use frozen corn if out of season.
  • 1 small Onion Sliced into rings; shallots can be used for a milder taste.
  • 1 small Red Bell Pepper Brings color and crunch; yellow or orange can be used.
  • 1 cup Cooked Chorizo Infuses spiciness; turkey or vegetarian chorizo is a lighter option.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced; garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened; Neufchâtel cheese is a lighter option.
