- 4 oz cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Drain the whole kernel corn and dice the jalapeno, poblano peppers, and onions.

- Create the Creamy Base: Add the drained corn, cream cheese, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the sautéed mixture. Stir well until the cream cheese melts and coats the corn and peppers evenly.
