This is the ultimate warm and cheesy Mexican Street Corn Dip, also known as Elote Dip. It captures the tangy, slightly spicy flavor of traditional street corn in a creamy, bubbly appetizer perfect for any gathering. You can make this quickly on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn kernels, drained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1-2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (for topping)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese (reserving a small amount for the top), Parmesan cheese, corn, red onion, cilantro, jalapenos, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin.
  4. Mix in the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved Monterey Jack cheese and the cotija cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is lightly golden.
  8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except the top layer of cheese. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour until hot. Stir, top with cheese, and cook for 10 more minutes until bubbly.
  • If you prefer less spice, use only half a jalapeno or omit it entirely.
  • For a smokier flavor, use fire-roasted corn if available.
