Elote Dip Variations

For heat – Try spicy/hot sausage or chorizo sausage, or serve with hot sauce. 

Sprinkle on Cotija or Queso Fresco cheese. 

A bright garnish for this dip is pico de Gallo and green chiles.

We recommend using canned corn and, specifically (if you like heat) the roasted corn that includes red peppers. It already has some good flavor built right in.

A substitute for Tajin is chili powder.

Tortilla Chips – While homemade tortilla chips are always the best, make sure to use a thick chip for this dip. It’s fairly heavy and needs a substantial chip to hold the weight.

Corn Chips – One of the best ways to enjoy this dip is simply corn chips. Use the large scoops to get the most out of each bite.
