Street Corn Dip

Street corn dip is a must make appetizer for the summer. It is loaded with sweet corn, tangy lime, feta cheese, and fresh cilantro for an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer inspired by classic elote.

Info and tips for street corn dip

• You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn. All three work for this recipe! Either way make sure to char the corn well, the little bits of caramelization will really help build the flavour of this dip.
• I used feta for this recipe but you can use cotija cheese if you can find it!
• You can simply serve it with chips, or spoon it over tacos, chicken, or steak!

Equipment

Use a good Stainless Steel Pan to get a nice char on the corn.
