If you could pick just one thing to make on game days I know it would be this Mexican street corn dip. It is beyond easy to make, takes just minutes, and everyone loves it!
The best part about this recipe is that it's so easy to double or triple depending on your crowd size.
If you were a fan of my original hot bubbly Mexican street corn dip than I know you will love this one.
There a few differences between the two recipes. The most significant differences is that this new recipe is a cold Mexican street corn dip (not hot) and there is a lot less cheese (the other is super cheesy!).
You'll have to tell me which you like better. But you should serve either one with some guacamole and maybe (definitely) a margarita.

How To Make Mexican Street Corn Dip
It can't get much easier than this! This Mexican street corn recipe is a dump and mix type of recipe. Dump all the ingredients into a bowl, mix it up, chill and you are ready to serve!
I like to boil my corn on the cob whenever I use it. Just for a bit. So remove the husks from the corn and boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the corn from the hot water and wait until it has cooled to handle it. Cut the kernels off the corn cob.

Place the corn kernels into a bowl with the lime juice, ancho chili powder, Tajin, jalapeño, mayo, sour cream and cotija cheese.
Stir it together.
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours so the flavors can marry.
