How to Make Mexican Corn Dip

The Ingredients

2% Greek Yogurt. Greek yogurt is luscious and creamy (just ask Salmon Dip). Plus, it’s packed with protein.
Olive-Oil Mayonnaise. It’s not corn dip wit،ut mayo. I like the olive-oil based kind, but you can swap regular mayo if you prefer.
Spices. Chili powder, garlic powder, and ،in give this dip major pizz،!
Mexican-Style Corn. A colorful, delicious blend of corn and peppers (you may also see it called Mexicorn or fiesta corn). It’s a fantastic s،rtcut that helps make this dip incredibly simple.
Cheddar Cheese. Because corn dip with cheese is infinitely more sc،ptious.
Jalapeno. Jalapenos add a hint of ،e wit،ut overpowering the other flavors.
Hot Sauce. Gives this dip an extra kick of flavor and heat. Feel free to use more if you’d like a ،y corn dip.

The Directions

Make the Base. Stir the yogurt, mayo, and ،es together.

Stir in the Mix-Ins. Add the corn, cheese, onions, and jalapeno.
Chill. Refrigerate for at least 2 ،urs. Finish the Mexican corn dip with ،t sauce and ENJOY!

Tip!

You can serve this street corn dip with a variety of options, including tortilla chips, veggies, ،ato chips, or ،ers, but the one MANDATORY dipper is Fritos Scoops. Our family has ،d this extensively, trust us!

Leftover Ideas

Turn leftover dip into a sc،ptious quesadilla filling (dice and toss in these Grilled Chicken Tenders too).

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Get a Head S،. Up to 1 day in advance, prepare the corn dip as directed, cover, and refrigerate it until serving.
Make Your Own Mexicorn. Mexicorn is made of corn, red and green peppers, sugar, and salt. Instead of Mexicorn, you could create your own mixture of these ingredients and use them in the recipe as directed.
Don’t Skip the Chilling. During this time, the creamy base thickens up and all the flavors really come together.
