Mexican Street Corn Dip
Description
The Mexican Street Corn Dip starts with freshly roasted corn removed from the cob and combined with mayonnaise and sour cream to create a smooth, creamy base. Cheddar cheese adds sharpness and body, while cotija cheese contributes a salty, crumbly texture typical of Mexican dishes. Tajin seasoning infuses gentle heat and citrusy notes.
Gently warming the mixture allows flavors to meld and the cheeses to soften without losing their unique textures. Optional broiling with extra cheese on top adds a lightly browned crust for contrast. Fresh cilantro sprinkled on top refreshes the richness, and lime wedges served alongside add a bright acidity when squeezed over the dip.
This dip pairs well with crackers or tortilla chips, making it a flavorful appetizer or party dish. Leftovers should be stored in a sealed container and consumed within three days for best taste and safety.
Ingredients
- 6 ears corn roasted
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
- 2-3 teaspoons tajin seasoning (we prefer 2 teaspoons in the dip, then more sprinkled on top)
Instructions
- Cut the corn kernels off the roasted ears. Place the corn in a medium saucepan or skillet.
- Add the remaining ingredients and heat over medium-low heat.
- Stir several times during cooking, and cook until heated through.
- If you'd like, spoon the warm corn dip into a cast iron skillet or baking dish, then top with extra cotija and cheddar cheese. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes to lightly brown the top of the dip.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving.
- Serve with crackers or tortillas.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and eat within 3 days.
Notes
- Serve with lime wedges to squeeze juice over the dip, enhancing brightness.
