Notes
Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Whole Kernel Corn: Using canned corn makes it super easy, but you could thaw frozen corn and drain it as well.
- Red Bell Pepper: I like the sweetness and the color of red pepper but you could use yellow, orange or even add green peppers for even more veggies
- Red Onion: If you are sensitive to a strong red onion flavor, you can soak your onions in ice water for about 30 minutes to calm the bite.
- Scallions: Scallions or green onions are great for a delicious fresh flavor and a pop of green on top.
- Mayonnaise: I prefer to use full fat Helman’s mayonnaise but you could use reduced fat or any brand you prefer. I would not recommend using Miracle Whip as it is a bit too sweet for this recipe. For a healthier option you could use some plain greek yogurt but I do not recommend replacing all the mayo with yogurt.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: You can use any cheese you prefer. I like cheddar but you can use shredded pepper jack or Colby Jack. I used finely shredded.
- Seasonings: Onion powder, garlic powder and taco seasoning all provide excellent flavor to the mix. I like Fiesta Blend Mild Taco seasoning.
- Crushed Chili Cheese Fritos: You can also plate this dip with Fritos Scoops for serving.
- Make sure your corn is drained well. This mixture can get very soupy if not drained properly.
- Wait to add the crushed Fritos until just before serving to make sure they stay crunchy
- Chill the dip. Chilling your dip gives the flavors time to melt together and will make your dip more creamy and thick
