Grilled Corn Dip is a creamy, spicy, slightly sweet snack for any time of the year. With loads of great flavor from cilantro, lime, chili powder, and cumin, this is an irresistibly dippable version of Mexican street corn.
Grilled Corn Dip
While this dip is best made with freshly grilled corn, it’s also delicious when made with pretty much any leftover roasted, sauteed, steamed, or boiled corn.
Feel free to make this with canned corn or frozen corn as well, if you don’t happen to have a pile of leftover or fresh corn waiting to be used in the middle of summer.
You simply can’t go wrong with a warm bowl of corn dip and a pile of tortilla chips any time of year. Seeing how this has been my dinner for the past couple of nights, (no joke) I’m here to tell you this really is that good.
Mexican Corn Dip
This Mexican Corn Dip is reminiscent of Street Corn, just a whole lot simpler to make, as you can throw it together with any corn you happen to have on hand.
I like to grill a whole pile of corn anytime during the summer when I happen to be grilling. We eat as many ears of piping hot Grilled Corn as possible and then I use the rest of it for a batch of this grilled corn dip or for tossed salads.
Tortilla chips are my go to for corn dip. But large wedges of red bell pepper are so good with this as well. If you have cojita cheese on hand, go ahead and sprinkle that on top.
Does your grocery store have lightly dried cilantro in the produce section? It can be hard to use an entire bunch of cilantro before it goes bad and oftentimes our grocery store is out of fresh.
The lightly dried cilantro will last up to 4 weeks in the refrigerator and works nicely. It’s a terrific backup plan when fresh is unavailable.

Corn makes for a great side dish, hot or cold. Heavy cream combines with Parmesan cheese to make a rich, delicious sauce for a cheesy corn side dish.
For another of my favorite corn sides, try this southwest-inspired corn salad with fresh corn, bell peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, and onion.
When you add corn and bell peppers to a batch of queso blanco, the result is a fantastic Corn Queso Dip that you won’t be able to stop eating.
Sweet corn, crisp peppers and onions, rich cream cheese, and spicy jalapenos are combined in this creamy fiesta corn dip to create a snack worthy of any occasion.
This simple baked spinach artichoke dip is creamy, rich, and full of great flavors. My family reminds me quite regularly that there is nothing under the sun that is not enhanced through the inclusion of bacon. Try the slow cooker spinach artichoke dip as well.
We do love spicy at our house and shishito peppers fit that bill. With a little bit of oil, plenty of salt, and a squeeze of lemon we enjoy this restaurant-style treat at home.
