Hi there, Ameera here!
Mom and I were eating this dip by the spoonful. It’s so gosh-darned tasty. You can easily use it as a baked potato topper, inside a burrito, side salad, or a taco topper, not to mention just with tortilla chips. It’s that delish!
You gotta give this one a try!
Tips for Success:
- Flavor: This Mexican Corn Dip is full of fresh flavors. The dip is not spicy or hot. The flavor profile is a beautifully creamy, fresh corn dip with great cilantro and lime accents. Vegan cream cheese gives great flavor and lends creaminess to the dip.
- Corn: You can use canned corn, frozen corn, or fresh corn (that has been blanched to the desired tenderness). 2 – [ 15.25 cans ] of corn yields approximately 3 ¼ cups. Additionally, if you can find cans of roasted corn, you can use those as well.
- Drain the Corn: Make sure the corn has no liquid. Drain it really well.
- Water: Start with 1 Tablespoon water, if too thick, then add another teaspoon up to a tablespoon to thin it out. The sauce should be a little on the thick side as it thins out when mixed with the dip ingredients.
- Diced Green Chiles: We used mild diced green chiles, but please note that these also come in hot. You can totally use the hot ones if you want to kick the dip up a notch with some heat.
- Drained and Rinsed Diced Green Chiles: We found draining and rinsing the diced green chiles creates a better mouth feel for this dip.
- Regular Chili Powder: Feel free to use your favorite chili powder, just be sure to select a mild one and not one that has a lot of heat to it.
- Veggie Bowl: We enjoyed this corn dip with our Oil Free Yellow Rice (coming out 7/15), Spicy Black Beans, and sliced tomatoes.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dish can be frozen but is best when eaten freshly made.
Pantry Products Used:
- Cream Cheese: We used Kite Hill Cream Cheese. Kite Hill Cream Cheese is Whole Food Plant Based. We like to use it simply for convenience. We also have a Vegan Cream Cheese recipe if you can’t find Kite Hill or simply wish to make homemade.
Kitchen Products Used:
- Whisk (or fork)
We certainly hope you give this deliciousness a try.
