Hot Corn Dip
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
2c cheddar cheese, grated
1c jack cheese, grated
1 chipotle in adobo, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
1/2c mayonnaise
1/4t garlic powder
1 (15oz) can corn, drained
1 small tomato, chopped
2T cilantro, chopped
2T green onion, thinly sliced

In a bowl, mix together cheeses, chipotle, jalapeño, mayo, garlic powder, and corn. Reserve remaining ingredients. Spread into a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden, melted, and bubbly around edges.
Sprinkle tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions on top of hot dip. Serve promptly with corn chips.
