Street Corn Dip
This street corn dip is cheesy, smoky, and tangy with a zesty kick of lime. Perfect with chips for game day, parties, or anytime snacking!
Equipment
- 12-inch cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 16 oz Frozen Corn, (or fresh corn)
- 4 Scallions/Green Onions, (diced the entire scallion, then separate the greens from the white bottoms)
- 2 cloves Garlic, (diced)
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Salt and Black Pepper, (to taste)
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, (room temperature)
- 8 oz Pepper Jack Cheese, (shredded)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1/3 cup Mayo
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 2 tsp Tajin, (more for garnish)
Toppings
- Cotija
- Fresh Cilantro, (diced)
- Lime Zest
- Tajin
Instructions
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add frozen corn and cook for 8-10 minutes, until thawed, then add in scallion whites and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly browned. Add in the diced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper, to taste. Cook for 3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and garlic to become fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium low heat and add in the cream cheese and stir until fully melted, then add the pepper jack cheese, shredded mozzarella, sour cream, and mayo. Stir until everything is fully melted and combined, then stir in the lime juice, diced scallion greens, and tajin.
- Remove from the heat and add to a serving bowl. Top with lime zest, cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, an additional sprinkle of tajin, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Serve with tortilla chips and fresh veggies.
Notes
- This dip is best served warm! Keep this in mind when serving. Keep it warm in a skillet so it stays creamy while scooping.
- Cotija is traditional, but queso fresco, feta, or even parmesan can work.
- You can mix everything up the day before, then bake or warm it in a skillet just before serving. This helps the flavors develop and makes entertaining easy.
