I just made this for a BBQ tomorrow. And of course my husband and I had to taste it to make sure it’s good. We’ve already eaten 1/2 of it. It’s not making it to the party. Seriously delicious. Or should I say Damn Delicious.
This is one of those recipes you’ll keep coming back to. For parties, for casual summer gatherings, for holidays – this dip will always always deliver. It’s a hot party dip that hits just right every single time – it’s warm, creamy, cheesy, velvety, and just so darn perfect.
what is mexican corn dip
Mexican corn dip is a take on everyone’s favorited Mexican street corn (also known as elote in Spanish), taking grilled corn and slathering with mayonnaise or crema and sprinkling with chili powder and cotija. This is further transformed into the creamiest, dreamiest dip.
reasons to make mexican corn dip
Super short ingredient list. This dip requires just a handful of ingredients, most of which are pantry staples.
Just the right amount of creaminess. We have the perfect scoopable abilities with a hint of tanginess and a bit of spice all around.
Flexible recipe. This is a great recipe to use frozen, canned or roasted corn when in season.
Best kind of party dip. Served hot or at room temperature, Mexican corn dip is a dip that will keep all the guests so happy.
Mix it up. Add diced bell peppers for a pop of color, or use feta cheese or queso fresco instead.
tips and tricks for success
Make it lighter. For a more lighter dip, use plain Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise.
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.
Add garnishes. Garnishes are always optional but a fresh sprinkle of cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese or chili powder will certainly take your dip to the next level, adding more flavor, texture and contrast.
Serve warm or room temperature. Even though this is best served warm, this is also such a crowd favorite when served at room temperature, perfect for tailgating and game day.
