Street Corn Dip Recipe
This Mexican Street Corn Dip is one of the easiest and tastiest appetizers you can make for game day, Cinco de mayo, potlucks, holidays, and parties! It’s inspired by everyone’s favorite elote street corn (corn on the cob slathered in chili lime mayo then bathed in Cotija cheese) – but in easier (and dare I say more delicious?!) hot corn dip form! This Mexican Corn Dip is a hypnotic creamy, cheesy blend of juicy charred sweet corn, tangy green chilies, spicy jalapenos, zesty cilantro, salty Cotija, creamy sour cream and mayonnaise blanketed with pepper Jack cheese then baked until golden and bubbly. This corn dip recipe can be made in advance then popped in the oven or even be made in the slow cooker for a tantalizing, stress-free, favorite appetizer! Serve it with shatteringly crispy tortilla chips and everyone will be becoming back for more.
