tips and tricks for success

  • Use canned corn. Frozen, roasted or canned corn will all work very well here, but canned corn is even more convenient and available all-year round, especially when fresh corn is not in season. 3 cans (drained) corn will do the trick here!
  • Add more heat. For more heat, leave the seeds and membranes of the jalapenos or add an additional jalapeno. Skip completely for mild flavor. And always avoid touching your eyes and nose when handling jalapeno peppers.
  • Mix it up. Swap the plain cream cheese for chive and onion cream cheese, or use Parmesan in place of cotija.
  • Add garnishes. Garnishes are always optional but a fresh sprinkle of cilantro or some crispy bacon will certainly take your dip to the next level, adding more flavor, texture and contrast.
