Why I Love This Recipe

If I need an appetizer I know everyone will love, this is usually the first thing I make. It’s inspired by all the flavors of Mexican street corn, with sweet corn, tangy Greek yogurt, sour cream, cotija cheese, fresh lime, and just enough smoky spice to keep everyone coming back for another scoop. It comes together in minutes and is just as good with tortilla chips as it is spooned onto tacos or grilled chicken.

Enjoying The Leftovers

Leftovers are just as versatile as they are delicious. Scoop it up with chips, spoon it onto tacos, burgers, grilled chicken, or burrito bowls, or use it as a spread for wraps and sandwiches. The flavors get even better after a few hours in the fridge.

Storing

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a quick stir before serving since a little liquid may separate as it chills.

When you’re ready to eat

Serve chilled or slightly cool with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita chips. Finish with an extra sprinkle of cotija cheese, cilantro, chili powder, and a squeeze of fresh lime for the best presentation and flavor.

Street Corn Dip

There's a reason street corn flavors are so popular, and this dip is proof. It's creamy, a little smoky, packed with fresh lime and cotija cheese, and comes together in about 10 minutes. Just grab a bag of tortilla chips because they won't last long once you set this out.
