Supplies

An easy dip, where the craziest supply needed is a sheet pan… but seriously you will need:

Cutting Board, grater, & Knife (serrated works best for taking the corn off)
Sheet Pan
Oven
Bowl
Spatula and Spoons
Measuring Cups & Spoons

Ingredients

Simple ingredients although I will note that using fresh ingredients will yield the best result, so fresh corn, fresh lime juice, and fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Corn on the Cob
Mayonnaise
Cilantro
Lime Juice
Sriracha
Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients needed to make easy Mexican Street Corn Dip recipe including fresh corn on the cob, mayo, and cilantro.

How to Make Mexican Street Corn Dip

Start by setting the oven to broil. You can keep the oven rack in the middle position so the corn doesn’t cook too fast.

Now carefully cut the corn kernels from the cobs. Spread the corn kernels over the sheet pan spread out in a single layer. For easy clean up you can line the sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Transfer to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes. Toss the corn kernels and re-spread out into a single layer. Broil another 4-5 minutes or until the corn begins to darken and blister.

While corn is in the oven add the mayo, cilantro, lime juice, sriracha, and parmesan cheese to a bowl.

Once corn is done add it to the bowl with the other ingredients and stir to mix together. Serve with tortilla chips warm immediately or can be stored in the fridge and served cold.

Tips, Tricks, and Questions

If you are making this for a larger group I recommend doubling!
Fresh corn from the cob is best for the recipe. I also tested it with frozen corn and canned corn, it was just not as good as with the fresh corn right off the cob!
I prefer the parmesan cheese in this recipe but you could also use cotija cheese
Don’t forget to buy a bag of chips! (Totally worth noting from personal experience…)
