1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions
- Combine the corn, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and jalapeño (if using) in a crockpot.
- Stir gently to mix, then cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or HIGH for 1–1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Once the dip is smooth and creamy, stir in lime juice, shredded cheddar, and crumbled cotija cheese until well combined.
- Garnish with extra cotija and chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes
Add cooked chorizo, bacon bits, or shredded chicken for extra protein.
For more heat, use extra jalapeño or a splash of hot sauce.
Make it vegan with dairy-free cream cheese, mayo, and plant-based cheese.
Try different cheeses like queso fresco or pepper jack.
Grill the corn before adding for authentic street corn flavor.
