This dip is so flippin‘ go tood it’s addictive. It begins with fresh corn lightly charred on the stove top grill pan with smokey cumin and chili powder it takes this dip over the top! I like to use jalapeños in this as I use the chipotle chili flakes for the spice factor. You can mix up the cheese you use in this but I love the shredded Mexican blend in this but you could use Monterey Jack or even sharp cheddar if you prefer.
You could make this with frozen corn and cook it in the spice blend but fresh corn is boss in this!
This Spicy Tex Mex Corn Dip, is the perfect party dip when you need something different!
I hope you give this a try! It really is so delicious!

An inverted bowl inside a large glass bowl makes this easy to remove kernels. A bundt pan can alternately be used. I have the corn horizontal here to show you the corn, but you place it vertically to remove the kernels with ease. A sharp knife makes this a breeze!
Just a wee bit of hot sauce makes this dip mildly spicy and so delish!
Make sure to season and taste. Layering flavors is key to any good dish, and sets your cooking apart and is the difference between a novice and a chef!
Luscious cream corn goodness. It tastes amazing. Serve with tortilla chips or crudities. It is the perfect dip!
