The green chiles are mild, giving the dip a distinctive flavor without being overpowering and taste-bud-friendly for adults and kids alike!
For the corn, you can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn. Youโll need to cook fresh and frozen corn before adding it to the recipe. For canned, you can simply drain the corn.
