🧀 What Makes This Recipe So Good
It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s full of flavor, and it’s SO easy to make. Literally everything about this Mexican corn dip is what makes it so good! Every time I serve this one, people crowd around the bowl until every last little bit is gone. Right after that they ask me to send them the recipe ASAP. Just a little heads up so you can be ready! This dip is one you can make well in advance, which can be a total pre-party life saver. It needs to chill for at least an hour, but the longer it chills, the more flavorful it’ll be! For the best flavors and textures, prepare your Mexican corn dip no more than 24 hours before you serve it. There’s zero cooking involved. Just add everything to a large bowl, stir it together, and let it chill. When you’re ready to serve the dip, you don’t even need to heat it up. It’s great chilled or at room temperature with corn chips, tortilla chips, fresh veggies, crackers, or anything else you like.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
It’s important that you drain the corn kernels and the Rotel very well, and that you pat it dry with paper towels after draining it. I know that sounds a little silly, but trust me. Too much moisture will make the mayo and sour cream separate, and I don’t know if you’ve ever had wet shredded cheese before, but it’s not pleasant. If you like heat, you can totally add diced jalapeños, shredded pepperjack, Tajin, and even a little hot sauce to the dip. Remember that the flavors intensify as the Mexican corn dip chills, so don’t be too heavy-handed. You’re welcome to use fresh or frozen corn instead of canned if you have it or prefer it. For frozen corn, defrost it in the refrigerator at least overnight, and be sure to drain and dry it well.
