Corn Dip
I’m obsessed with corn anything! In college I used to drive through the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago to find the street cart vendors that would be selling authentic elotes before it became so mainstream. I love the flavor and texture of corn combined with mayonnaise, cheese and spices.
I wanted to take the idea of elotes and create a creamy, smokey and spicy corn dip that could be served warm with tortilla chips. So I started to experiment with different spices and cheeses combined with the corn and mayonnaise and landed on this fan favorite. It’s a very simple dip with minimal effort that is sure to be a big hit at parties.
Pairs With: Tortilla chips, in tacos, smothered on almost anything/everything
