Notes
- Corn: We like it with about 1 cup corn, but feel free to add more if you want it chunkier and more corn flavor. Use fresh (raw, cut from the cob) or frozen corn or I like Trader Joes frozen grilled corn. It's a great recipe to use up leftover Grilled Corn on the Cob or Instant Pot Corn on the Cob.
- Cheese: Cotija cheese is traditional, but if you can’t find it, substitute finely grated parmesan cheese.
- Yogurt: Could substitute Mexican crema or sour cream.
- Make Ahead Instructions: This easy dip recipe can be stored in an airtight container for 5-7 days, and can be served warm or cold.
