Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- Beat cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in lime juice, taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
- Fold in tomatoes, black beans, corn, bell pepper, jalapeño, green onions, cilantro, and 1½ cups cheddar.
- Spread into the dish and top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar.
- Bake until hot and bubbly, 18–22 minutes. Broil 1–2 minutes for a golden top, if desired.
- Rest 5 minutes. Garnish with extra cilantro and green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips or veggies.
Notes
Variation: Swap in pepper jack for half the cheddar, or stir in 8 oz cooked crumbled chorizo before baking. Make-ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate; add 5–8 minutes to baking time. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days; reheat gently at 325°F until warm.
