Add the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, green chiles, and seasonings a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Add the corn and fold into the cheese mixture.

Notes
If using frozen (thawed) or canned corn, drain well. If desired, cook the corn in a skillet with a touch of butter to char the kernels before adding to the dip.
To cut the kernels off of the cobs, lay the cob flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off one side lengthwise. Roll the cob onto the cut - now flat - side. Cut and roll until the kernels have been cut off of all sides.
