This Mexican Corn Dip recipe is pure comfort food and ridiculously easy to make! It gets a little heat from jalapeno peppers and chiles, but is balanced out nicely by sour cream and cheese. Baked in the oven until it’s nice and bubbly, it’s the best hot appetizer for any get together!
Serve this dip with tortilla chips alongside some Restaurant Style Salsa. Or make it a meal next to Chile Relleno Casserole and Spanish Rice.
Easy Mexican Corn Dip
Years ago, my husband and I owned a little house right next door to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant (the best kind, right?) I mean, we literally could step outside our front door and walk about 300 feet and Bam! the best authentic Mexican food. Needless to say, we ate there A LOT.
They served a corn dip that was more like a salsa – we couldn’t get enough of it. Then one day, some lady eating near us said “add some sour cream and mayo to it, bake it, and enjoy it hot. It will rock your world.” She was 100% American. Lol. I loved the idea of this and tried to recreate it at home. I’ve been making it that way since.
This hot corn dip has seen many get-togethers with us and is always a hit with friends and family. The flavors are well balanced with a little heat, sweetness, and tang. All you need is a few minutes to mix everything together, then bake it until the cheese is hot and gooey. So good!

You can easily make this dip ahead of time: Combine all the ingredients and place the mixture in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake.

This was so good, Mine turned out a little watery but I don’t measure anything so added more corn to compensate. I used fresh sweet corn on the cob and home roasted hatch green chilies, tis the season. And, probably doubled the chilies. Fantastic Amy thanks. Kids loved it too!
This corn dip is absolutely delicious! My husband and came home for lunch just for this dip. Thank you!
So quick and easy.
Sneak in that nutrition any way you can! That’s my motto anyways – this dip looks delish!
This was insanely good!
My whole family loved this!
Thanks for this recipe. Sounds delicious. So much comfort food.
This made me laugh because J&C are exactly the same- they hate all Mexican food but love tortilla chips and salsa. Go figure! I will make this for me!
Weirdos, right??? You and Randy could love it!
So easy and yummy! We served it for game night and it was gone in a flash. Next time I might double it.
