Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup cooked corn (canned or frozen, thawed)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions
- Mix sour cream and seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Stir until the seasoning is evenly distributed, creating a creamy and flavorful base for the dip.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and cooked corn to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Optional cilantro: If desired, fold in the freshly chopped cilantro to add a bright, fresh burst of flavor to the dip.

- Serve: Serve the dip chilled with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers for a perfect party appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, drain the diced tomatoes thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
- This dip can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use fresh or thawed frozen corn as preferred; both work well.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, consider using a hot taco seasoning mix or adding extra diced jalapeños.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free cheese.
