Make this simple, flavorful Mexican Street Corn Dip that tastes like Elote. It is a creamy, cheesy appetizer perfect for game day or any party gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Cotija cheese or Tajin seasoning for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, drained Rotel, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the corn dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  6. Remove from the oven. If desired, sprinkle the top with Cotija cheese or Tajin seasoning before serving.
  7. Serve hot with tortilla chips, Fritos, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a quicker version, you can skip baking and serve this dip cold. Chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, add one finely diced jalapeño (seeds removed) to the mixture.
  • This recipe makes a great base for a hot dip; for a ‘Crack Corn Dip’ feel, you can fold in 4 ounces of cooked, crumbled bacon before baking.
