🛒 WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

  • Frozen Corn – Yeah, I'm using frozen corn. Sue me. It's so quick and easy. Just thaw it and you’re good to go.
  • Sour Cream & Cream Cheese – Almost all of my dips use sour cream and cream cheese to make the creamy dip. 
  • Mayonnaise – Same thing with mayo. Every dip needs mayo. 
  • Cotija Cheese – The signature cheese in Mexican street corn.
  • Colby Jack Cheese – You can use Pepperjack also. 
  • BBQ Rub or Tajín – Choose a smoky BBQ rub or Tajín to season the dip.
  • Lime Juice – The line juice adds some freshness and acidity to the dip.
  • Jalapeño – For a nice touch of heat. 

👨‍🍳 HOW TO MAKE SMOKED MEXICAN STREET CORN DIP

1. Combine the Ingredients

In a small cast-iron skillet, mix together the thawed corn, sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cotija, shredded pepper jack, lime juice, diced jalapeño, and BBQ rub. Make sure everything is well-combined. 

2. Smoke the Dip

Smoke the dip at 250F for 45-60 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and warmed throughout. 

3. Add More Cheese

Remove the dip from the smoker and sprinkle some more cotija cheese on top.

4. Rest & Serve

Let the dip cool down for a few minutes, and then serve with Fritos or pita bread. 

💡 PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

  • Use fresh corn. I caught some flak on TikTok for using thawed, frozen corn. Which is fine. If you want to level-up this recipe, you can use fresh corn and char it on your grill first.
  • Make it spicier. Add a pinch of cayenne or some more diced jalapeño to kick up the spice even more.
