Notes

Fresh corn gives the best flavor, but frozen or canned corn can be used. If using canned, drain well before adding.
For extra smoky flavor, sprinkle in smoked paprika.
Want it spicier? Add more chipotle sauce or top with hot sauce when serving.
Roasted red peppers or poblanos make a great add-in for extra flavor and color.
This dip can be prepped up to a day in advance. Assemble, cover, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave. Store in the fridge up to 3 days.
