Mexican Street Corn Dip
Description
This dip recreates the flavors of Mexican street corn with a creamy base of sour cream or yogurt and mayonnaise blended with lime juice, chili powder, and cumin. Fresh, frozen, or canned corn is sautéed or broiled until lightly charred, imparting a smoky note that highlights the sweetness of the corn kernels. The cooled corn is combined with diced green chilies, finely chopped green onions, fresh cilantro (or parsley), and crumbled cotija or feta cheese for added texture and tang.
The finished dip is creamy and rich, with a balance of smoky, tangy, and mildly spicy elements. Chili powder sprinkled on top provides an extra visual and flavor accent. It can be served as an appetizer or side dish alongside tortilla chips, making it a flavorful accompaniment to various Mexican-inspired meals.
