Calling all Tex Mex lovers! If you enjoy quick and tasty appetizers, this Elote inspired corn dip is just for you!
This recipe is a crowd favourite and is super simple to whip up a big batch. It packs a serious flavour punch and goes great with taco chips, on top of grilled chicken or served up with chopped vegetables.
I love using fresh charred corn in this recipe but frozen or canned also work well! I also love to make this recipe ahead and bake it when it's time to enjoy. It really is a time saver when you are hosting!

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen corn
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp each; cumin, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, red pepper flakes

- 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (I like cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a small frying pan, add in corn kernels and oil. Heat over medium high heat until corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- To the corn, add in bell peppers and onions. Sautee until tender, about 5-7 minutes more.
- While the vegetable mixture cooks, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise and spices in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the warm vegetable mixture to the yogurt mixture. Stir in cilantro and jalapenos. Mix everything until combined.
- Spread dip evenly in a 9 X 13 oven safe dish. Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and top with feta cheese, additional cilantro and jalapenos.
- Serve with taco chips or chopped vegetables. It's also great on top of grilled chicken. Enjoy!
