Hot Hatch Chile Peppers

Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place corn, hatch chiles, jalapeno (if using) and garlic on a sheet pan. Coat with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast 15-20 minutes or until corn and peppers are lightly charred, flipping corn and peppers halfway through cooking. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Peel loose skins from peppers. Place peppers and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to form a chunky salsa-like consistency. Cut corn kernels from ears; discard corn cobs.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed until smooth. Add Greek yogurt and mayonnaise; beat until thoroughly mixed. Beat in lime zest and juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Fold in corn, pepper mixture, ½ cup shredded cheese and all but 3 tablespoons Cotija cheese (reserve for topping). Transfer mixture to a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup shredded cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and edges are browned.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle with remaining Cotija cheese and sliced green onion. Serve dip with tortilla chips.
