Mexican Street Corn Dip
Description
This dip starts with either freshly roasted corn kernels or cooked frozen corn sautéed to develop a slight char, adding smoky depth. Red onion and jalapeño provide sharpness and mild heat, while chopped cilantro introduces fresh herbal notes. Lime juice brightens the mixture with acidity.
The creamy mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise binds the ingredients, delivering smoothness and tang. Chili powder, cumin, and garlic salt season the dip, giving it the characteristic flavors of Mexican street corn. Cotija cheese adds saltiness and a crumbly texture, with some reserved for garnish along with cilantro.
Mexican Street Corn Dip can be enjoyed warm or cold and pairs well with chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks. It is flexible for parties, snacks, or as a flavorful side dish.
