Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish or Cast iron

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Whole kernel Corn (low sodium)
  • 8 oz Whipped Cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream (or mayo)
  • 3 Tbsp Chipotle Salsa Crema (or your favorite hot sauce)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Mexican Style 4 cheese)
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Lime Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Pickled Jalapeno (Use raw jalapeno pepper for extra heat)
  • 3 Tbsp Cotija cheese (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro

Serve with

  • Tortilla Chips
  • Baguette
  • Cucumber slices
  • Pita Chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Drain and rinse the canned corn.
  • This is optional, but I highly recommend this step if you have time. Next, spray some cooking oil in a hot skillet and saute the corn. This ensures the corn is not too watery when mixed with the creamy component.
  • Rough chop the jalapeno peppers and cilantro.
  • In a bowl, add the whipped cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle crema, chili lime seasoning, shredded cheese, cilantro and jalapeno. Then mix in the corn. Top with cotija cheese.

Cold Serving

  • Serve and Enjoy!

Hot Serving

  • Spray a baking dish or cast iron with cooking spray, add the corn mixture, and sprinkle more shredded cheese if desired.
  • Bake for 18-25 minutes or until the elote dip is hot and bubbly.
  • Garnish with cotija cheese, and serve immediately and ENJOY!
