I first made this recipe years ago, a vegan riff on esquites, which is a Mexican street corn (i.e. elote) salad. I brought it back recently and fine-tuned a few things, and I’m so glad I did. It is SO good, friends. It’s great as a side dish for your favorite Mexican dishes (like tacos) and actually the most perfect dip with corn tortilla chips!
Years back, my friend (who is from Kentucky) shared her corn dip recipe with me. I can’t recall the recipe now but I know it had sour cream, jalapeño, and corn and it was so addicting. I made this as a side dish one night when I was testing this recipe and my husband starting eating it with chips and actually that’s the only way we eat it now. It’s THAT good. It’s not my friend’s same recipe and its not even adapted from hers, but the flavors remind us of it so much. I think more so if this had some jalapeño, which if not making for kids I’d recommend adding!
If you make this, be sure to tag me on Instagram and let me know what you think!
Add spice- I’ve kept this pretty family-friendly but to add some spice, I’d either double the chili powder, add a jalapeño, or both!
Use fresh corn– during summer months when fresh corn is in season, feel free to use grilled corn instead of frozen! You would need around 4 cobs, but depends on size of your corn.
How long does it last- this should last in the fridge for about 3 days, but I doubt it will last that long!
