Is it weird that it’s only March and I’m already thinking about Cinco de Mayo? I can’t help it. It’s not like I don’t already eat like it’s Cinco de Mayo all day every day, but the actual holiday is fun because EVERYBODY is looking to eat some Mexican inspired food.

(Click here for my list of The Best Cinco de Mayo Recipes.)

And I support that 100 percent.

This year I’m planning on throwing a fun Cinco de Mayo party for all my friends, and this Mexican Corn Dip will definitely be on the menu!

Ready in only 40 minutes from start to finish, this Mexican Corn Dip is one of the easiest dips you’ll ever make. Here’s what you’ll need.

  • 2 cans of whole kernel corn (you could also use frozen or fresh corn if you want)
  • cream cheese and a little bit of sour cream (it’s where all the creaminess comes from!)
  • 3 different kinds of cheese (mozzarella, monterey jack and cotija)
  • my favorite blend of Mexican spices (garlic, chili and onion powder)
  • and some lime juice and cilantro for a little touch of acidity and brightness

Simply mix it all together, put it in a baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

      You can make this up to 2 days in advance and then reheat it in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to eat it!

    This needed some heat from maybe fresh jalapenos but we like it. Will be playing with this recipe.

      Thanks, Jeff. Some fresh jalapenos would definitely help with the heat. I also like the idea of drizzling the top with some salsa Valentina or you favorite hot sauce. 🙂
