that’ll make an excellent snack for small parties.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups corn (frozen or fresh)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Monterey jack cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream

2 tbsp. butter
¼ cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper (to taste)
Tortilla chips

2. In a big skillet or pan melt the butter on medium heat. Then sauté both the bell pepper and onion until soft (around 5-7 minutes).
3. Then add the corn, cooking together for 5 minutes longer. Maintain stirring until the mixture is a lovely golden brown.
4. Add salt and pepper for a generous seasoning, and mix with optional cayenne pepper. Stir up with garlic and jalapeno. Cook and stir for approx. 1 minute.
5. Take a separate big bowl, and mix up the cheeses (minus a little bit of cheddar for later) with the mayonnaise and sour cream.
