Mexican Corn Dip recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 ears corn grilled, cooked, or boiled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder divided
  • 7 oz feta cheese block divided
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 whole lime sliced

Instructions

Cook the corn:

  • Lay each ear of grilled (or cooked) corn flat on a cutting board. Slice off the kernels with a knife.
  • In a skillet, cook the corn kernels with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of chili powder on medium heat for 2 minutes to infuse them with olive oil and seasoning.

Season the reserved corn:

  • Remove ⅓ of the corn from the skillet and place it in a small bowl. Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and an additional ½ teaspoon of chili powder to the small bowl with the reserved corn. Stir everything well to combine.

Prepare the creamy base:

  • In a food processor, whip together sour cream, Greek yogurt, and ⅔ of feta cheese (reserving the rest for later) on high speed until very smooth.
  • Add the whipped feta mixture to the skillet with the remaining ⅔ of corn (off heat).
  • Add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice and stir well. Add more lime juice if desired.

Assembly:

  • Pour the dip into a large serving bowl. Alternatively, leave the dip in the skillet and serve it as is.
  • Arrange the reserved ⅓ of corn on top, drizzling the chili olive oil juices around.
  • Top with the remaining crumbled feta, chopped fresh cilantro, and lime slices. Sprinkle chili powder on top.
  • Serve Mexican Street Corn Dip with tortilla chips, crackers, pita bread, or vegetables.
