Mexican Street Corn Dip
Mexican Street Corn Dip is the plate dip version of Elotes (Mexican Street Corn). Elotes are whole corn cobs that are grilled and then covered in either mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt or a combination. Chili powder, cotija cheese, lime and cilantro are sprinkled on top of the sauces. Elotes are a classic Mexican street food and are great for summer BBQs but a dip version is a great option as it's easier to share without the mess of a whole corn cob. This dip is packed with all the classic flavors of elotes.
