Why this Mexican street corn dip recipe works
Mexican corn dip is a classic dish made in most Mexican homes, especially when a quick and easy appetizer is needed. Now, you have a Mexican corn dip recipe at your fingertips to recreate a classic dish. All you need are just a few ingredients!
What I love most about this street corn dip recipe is that it only calls for things you can conveniently pick up at your local grocery store. No hunting anything down or needing an actual Mexican grocery store. A short prep time and cook time means you can have this on the dinner table in no time! Not to mention, hot corn dip is so versatile. This appetizer is absolutely delicious and one to make for Taco Tuesdays, a Cinco de Mayo potluck, or even a game day. Add this as a side for Chipotle Barbacoa Beef.
Recipe Ingredients
- Cheese: The highlight of this dip is the cheese, which is why it calls for 2 lbs. of Velveeta cheese, cubed. We also use velveeta for Rotel Dip.
- Corn: The next most important ingredient is the corn. You’ll need 2 cans of fire roasted corn, which adds the unique grilled corn taste.
- Onion: All you need is a ½ of a diced red onion.
- Cilantro: This adds a unique flavor to this creamy dip.
- Salsa Verde: The green salsa always adds a unique taste thanks to the combination of tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro.
- Milk: A 1/2 cup of milk helps create the creaminess of this delicious dip.
- Pepper Jack Cheese: A couple of shredded cups are added in to make the cream cheese mixture.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step One – Add everything to the slow cooker.
Step Two – Cook on HIGH For 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts into a delicious blend. Serve and enjoy!
How to Serve
- One of the best ways to serve this dip directly from the crock pot alongside a bowl of corn chips, tortilla chips, or something equivalent (like Tostitos Scoops or even pita chips).
- This dip also makes a perfect topping for tacos, taco salads, enchiladas, and the like.
- For toppings, you can’t go wrong by adding green onions, cheese sour cream, hot sauce, fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese or Pepper Jack cheese, green chiles, red pepper flakes, and diced jalapeno peppers.
- If you want to serve it alongside other sides, try black beans and lime wedges. A squeeze of lime juice adds a nice flavor.
Recipe FAQs
You can use either (or even frozen corn); however, you’ll want to add the charred taste to the corn kernels. You can do this by frying the corn on the cob before cutting it off of the cob or using the grill.
Using Velveeta take the guesswork out of how to create a cheesy base. As a replacement, you can use a combination of plain Greek yogurt, queso fresco, cheddar cheese, or Pepper Jack cheese.
Chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper add flavor and help make this a spicy corn dip.
Add any leftover dip to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week. You can also enjoy this street corn dip cold.
