Ingredients
Scale

- 1 can Rotel (regular or hot, depending on your preference, drained)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Notes
- Make Ahead: This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge to allow the flavors to develop even more.
- Adjust the Spice: If you like a milder dip, use the regular Rotel. For a spicier version, opt for the hot Rotel or add extra jalapeños.
- Fresh Ingredients: If you don’t have Mexicorn, you can substitute with frozen corn kernels, but make sure to cook and drain them well before using.
- Add Protein: For a heartier dip, you can mix in some cooked and crumbled bacon or ground beef.
