Mexican Corn Dip
Gluten Free Living – 2020
Mexican Corn Dip is one fantastic appetizer. This spicy Tex-Mex dip is absolutely mouthwatering. Especially if you enjoy a little spice in your life. 🙂 This one uses Fiesta, Mexi- or Southwestern corn. It also uses jalapeno peppers, green chilies, onion and Cheddar cheese. It’s held together with mayonnaise. It all comes together so deliciously.

Mexican Corn Dip can be served with Fritos scoops, tortilla chips or Ritz crackers. For that matter, you can serve it on veggies like cucumber or celery to get added “oomph” to those veggies. This recipe is so easy, it can be mixed up in just a few minutes. But it’s best if it’s made 24 hours in advance so the flavors can marinate before serving.
I made up a batch of Mexican Corn Dip for our Super Bowl party this year. We work with another couple in our church and host college/young adults every Sunday. They usually host and we help with food. I also brought Cheeseburger Puffs and Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Mud Pie. Our hostess served hamburgers, hot dogs & 5 or 6 other dips with chips. Everything was a hit. I personally loved the Mexican Corn Dip and could have eaten all of it myself!
We have some neighbors in our development that live one street over. We had dinner with them a couple of years ago and I raided her self-published cookbook for lots of great recipes. Linda is a cajun cook from Louisiana. Every single one of her recipes has been a gold mine! This appetizer was no exception.
One nice thing about this appetizer is it’s so quick and easy to make up. It’s also gluten free if you have friends or family members that have gluten intolerance. It’s delightful to serve for tailgating parties, potlucks or as a snack any time day or night. You can regulate the heat in the recipe by how much jalapeno pepper you add to the batch. Yessireee! This is a dandy of a recipe. It’s certainly one you’ll want to make often for parties and fun gatherings with friends.
