As you can tell, we also added ground beef to our recipe, so it was more robust, but you can leave that out if preferred.

Ingredients:

• ground beef
• corn
• sour cream

• real mayonnaise
• high quality Colby jack cheese or Mexican cheese

• fresh ingredients – red onion, fresh cilantro leaves, and lime.
• seasonings: chili powder, jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, tajin seasoning, and salt.
• serving: tortilla chips

How to make TikTok Elote Dip

1. Add beef and onions to a skillet and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are tender.
2. Drain grease and return meat and onions to the pan. Season with chili powder.
3. Add jalapenos, drained corn kernels, sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic powder, tajin, salt, and half of the shredded cheese.

4. Mix corn mixture well. Heat over medium heat, frequently stirring until hot. Mix in the juice of a lime.
5. Sprinkle with remaining cheese on top and broil for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. 

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.

As a note, fresh corn (if you have some leftovers from a recipe) or drained frozen corn all work fine. 

A substitute for Tajin is chili powder.

What to serve with TikTok Corn Dip. 

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. 

Optional Dip Toppings: Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped jalapenos, and black olives.
