Creamy Street Corn Dip

Healthy Fact of the Day

While this street corn dip is rich and creamy, it incorporates fresh corn kernels, which are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The addition of cotija or feta cheese provides protein and calcium, while the cilantro and lime juice add a burst of freshness and flavor.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving

 

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the thawed corn kernels over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred in some spots. Let the corn cool slightly.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the charred corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled cotija or feta cheese, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño (if using), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and lime juice.

  3. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

  4. Transfer the street corn dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional crumbled cotija or feta cheese on top.

  5. Serve the dip warm or at room temperature, with tortilla chips for dipping.

Enjoy this creamy and flavorful street corn dip as a delicious appetizer or snack, perfect for entertaining or game day celebrations!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
