Dip Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
- 2 (15 oz) cans Southwestern corn, drained
- 8 oz pepper jack cheese, cut in halves
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp Tajin, divided
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp elote seasoning
- ¼ to ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cream cheese, drained southwestern corn, pepper jack cheese, and sour cream into the crockpot, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Add Seasonings and Parsley: Mix in the chopped fresh parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of Tajin to infuse the dip with bold flavor.
- Cook in Crockpot: Place the lid on the crockpot and set it to low heat. Let the dip cook for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the cheeses to melt and ingredients to meld together perfectly.

- Use fresh parsley for best flavor, but dried parsley can be substituted in a pinch.
- Adjust Tajin and elote seasoning amounts to your preferred spice level.
- For a thicker dip, reduce sour cream slightly or add more cream cheese.
- Can be kept warm in the crockpot on the low setting for party serving.
