Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and charred. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, jalapeño, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Fold in shredded chicken, charred corn, undrained Rotel, and 1 ½ cups of Monterey Jack cheese until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 25 to 35 minutes until hot, bubbly, and cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with queso fresco (or cotija cheese) and cilantro. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For added flavor, consider garnishing with additional cilantro or jalapeños before serving.
Using a rotisserie chicken makes this dish quick to prepare—great for weeknight dinners.
