Why You’ll Love This Homemade Fiesta Corn Dip:

• Make-Ahead-Friendly: Refrigerate the dip for at least 3 hours or overnight. Chilling allows the spices and fresh ingredients to meld for a richer taste. 
• Perfect For Corn Lovers: The two cans of corn (or fresh/frozen corn) provide a naturally sweet and crisp base that everyone will love.
• Creamy & Fresh: Red bell pepper, jalapeño, green onions, and cilantro bring vibrant color and a zesty, refreshing bite to the dip. It’s a sneaky and tasty way to add veggies for kids, while the chive-and-onion cream cheese blended with Greek yogurt keeps the dip creamy and perfectly balanced.
• Versatile Party Appetizer: Serve it with tortilla chips, corn chips, or even as a topping for grilled chicken or shrimp. To take this dish to a whole new level, try adding my Cilantro Lime Grilled Corn for a full-on fiesta!

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 ounces, each) *corn drained
• 1/2 red bell pepper, remove seeds then dice
• 1/2 Tablespoon freshly chopped jalapeno seeds, removed (can add more or less depending on heat tolerance)
• 4 Tablespoons chive and onion cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 Tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Note

*Can also use 4 cups of fresh or frozen corn. Thaw frozen corn first.

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gently stir until everything is combined and evenly coated.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap then store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or longer to incorporate all of the flavors.

Serve dip with your favorite tortilla chips and corn chips. You can also serve this dip over chicken or shrimp. Enjoy!

Servings

Serves 6.

Storage and Reheating

Store the leftover fiesta corn dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best flavor, let it come to room temperature before serving, or gently warm it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer a slightly heated dip. Freezing isn’t recommended, as the cream cheese and Greek yogurt can separate, altering the texture and taste.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Fiesta Corn Dip:

• Use Fresh or Frozen Corn: While canned corn works perfectly, using fresh or thawed frozen corn adds a natural sweetness and crunch that takes this dip to the next level.
• Use Fresh High-Quality Herbs: Fresh cilantro and green onions give this corn party dip a vibrant flavor and color; don’t skip this step!
• Adjust The Heat If Needed: The jalapeño gives a nice kick, but you can remove seeds completely for mild heat or add extra for a spicier dip.
• Make Ahead-Friendly: Refrigerate the dip for at least 3 hours or overnight. Chilling allows the spices and fresh ingredients to meld for a richer, more balanced taste
• Make It Your Own: Serve it however you want! It tastes delicious over grilled chicken, shrimp, or even stuffed into mini bell peppers for a fun appetizer twist.
