Mexican Street Corn Dip
I have made my fair share of traditional Mexican street corn and also put my own spin on recipes based on Mexican street corn. This fun twist is Mexican Street Corn Dip!
It has some traditional components like the cotija cheese and chili powder.
But I also added some extra yumminess like red pepper and a jalapeno 🙂
Here is how to make Mexican Street Corn Dip
Begin by putting 8 ears of corn, a red pepper, and a jalapeno on a tray.
Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Then onto a grill over medium high heat for about 10 minutes total.
Turn the veggies a few times as they cook.
Try to get a nice char on them as well 🙂
Once the veggies are removed from the grill let them cool slightly.
Then cut the corn kernels off of the cob. I have this amazing corn scraper that I use quite often.
It makes cutting the kernels super simple.
Then pull the stems and most of the seeds from the peppers.
I left a few jalapeno seeds to add some spice.
Put the corn and peppers in a bowl (or in my case I am using a casserole dish because it was already out).
And add mayo, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, ground red pepper, crumbled cotija cheese, and freshly chopped cilantro.
Then all that’s left to do is give it a mix and of course a taste test.
Add kosher salt, pepper, or more ground red pepper if needed.
I always put a little extra lime juice in mine as well.
Serve Mexican Street Corn Dip with tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops (which is what I prefer).
