More tips for making Mexican corn dip:
- Be sure to leave enough time to soften your cream cheese beforehand. Mine usually takes about an hour on the counter to onlinee to room temperature. In a pinch, use the microwave to soften. Place the unwrapped cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high for 15 seconds.
- This dip is easy to cater to your taste. For instance, if you prefer a non-spicy experience, skip the hot sauce and use mild green chiles. If you can’t find hot chiles and want it spicy used canned jalapenos instead or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste!
- It’s a thicker cream cheese dip, so be sure to pair it with a sturdy tortilla chip, cracker, or vegetable dipper of choice.
- If you can’t find Cotija cheese, feta has a similar profile and texture.
- Mexican street corn dip tastes excellent as leftovers. It can be stored in a covered container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
