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!

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
  • 3/4 cup cilantro; chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapenos (plus more for garnish)
  • 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!
