Can you use frozen or canned corn for Mexican Street Corn Dip?

Yes, frozen or canned corn works well as long as it's drained or thawed. Charring it in a hot skillet helps recreate the classic street-corn flavor.

What cheese is best if you can't find Cotija?

Feta is the closest substitute because of its salty crumble. Parmesan or a mild Mexican-blend cheese can also be used for a creamier texture.

Should Mexican Street Corn Dip be served warm or cold?

It can be served warm or cold. Warm dip melts slightly for a richer feel, while cold dip tastes bright and refreshing.

How long does leftover Mexican Street Corn Dip last?

When stored in an airtight container, leftovers usually stay fresh for three to four days. Reheat warm versions gently to maintain a smooth texture.

Is Mexican Street Corn Dip spicy?

It's naturally mild unless you add jalapeño, hot sauce, or chili powder. You can easily adjust the spice level to suit your preferences.
