DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 450℉.

  3. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the top of the peppers, corn and onion. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

  4. Once the veggies are done roasting in the oven, dice the poblano peppers, onion, and remove the corn from the cob.

  5. To a medium size mixing bowl add the chopped veggies, room temperature cream cheese, Greek yogurt, ¾ cup shredded cheese, adobo sauce, garlic powder, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  6. Transfer the dip mixture to a prepared baking dish and spread out into an even layer. Then sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup shredded cheese over the top.

  7. Place the baking dish in the oven at 450℉ and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted. After the 12-15 minutes, broil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with cilantro.

  8. Serve with tortilla chips or veggies! Enjoy!
