Why You’ll Love This Elote Corn Dip Recipe

• Instant Crowd-Pleaser. Creamy, cheesy, and southwest-spiced, this fiesta corn dip is one of those no-brainer recipes that people go crazy over. Want to feel like the bell of the appetizer ball? Be the person who brings creamy street corn dip (and even Corn Salsa!)!
• Tried and True. Mexican corn dip is among the small rotation of reliable, crowd-pleasing appetizer recipes that have become my family’s signatures. The recipe comes from my sister Elaine, who proudly calls herself a professional tailgater and dip eater (this recipe is her game-day go-to).
• Perfect for Parties. Street corn dip is also ideal from the hostesses’ perspective. It takes minutes to make, you can refrigerate it for hours in advance (in fact, it tastes better as it sits), and did I mention people freak out over how good it is?

• Ingredients & Substitutions

  • 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 without mayo. I like the olive oil based kind, but you can swap regular mayo if you prefer.
  • Spices. Chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin give this dip major pizzazz!
  • 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 shortcut that helps make this dip incredibly simple.
  • Cheddar Cheese. Because corn dip with cheese is infinitely more scrumptious.
  • Jalapeno. Jalapenos add a hint of spice without 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 spicy corn dip.
