This easy Creamy Corn Dip, also called Fiesta Corn Dip, is one of my favorite dips ever, mainly because it is so easy to throw together. You can literally throw it together in 10 minutes. The corn dip is cool, creamy, and full of flavor. It reminds me of a Mexican street corn dip. It is perfect year-round. This corn dip tastes just as good for game day in the fall, as it does as a side dish at a  summer BBQ. My sister-in-law, Linsey, gave me this recipe. She made it a few years ago for a family gathering and everyone devoured it. She has made it for us several times since and I kept forgetting to get the recipe from her. Finally, I broke down and begged her for the recipe and she was kind enough to share.

Ingredients in Creamy Corn Dip

  • Mexicorn – Mexicorn is canned corn that also has bits of red and green bell peppers in it. However, you can also use canned corn, fresh corn off the cob, or even frozen corn. The corn dip definitely tastes best if it has those red and green bell pepper pieces in them. You can often find frozen corn with that combination, but if not either omit the peppers or buy a few and chop them in. You don’t need a full pepper of each variety, about 1/4th a pepper is the right amount.
  • Rotel – Rotel is a mixture of diced tomatoes and diced green chiles.
  • Greek Yogurt – if you don’t have Greek yogurt then you can also use sour cream or cream cheese
  • Mayonnaise – if you’re not a fan of mayo, then you can use more greek yogurt as a substitute.
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
  • Green Onions
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Corn Chips for Serving – This corn dip is versatile and goes well with almost any savory item that can be dipped. A few of our favorites include tortilla chips, potato chips, crackers, baby carrots, celery, or any other raw veggie you have on hand.
  • Optional Add Ins: fresh cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, and jalapenos

Recipe Tip

You can serve this corn dip recipe right after you mix the ingredients. However, I will say this recipe tastes even better if you make it ahead of time and stick it in the fridge covered for at least an hour. The corn dip flavors will combine and taste absolutely amazing!

    I have made this recipe several times over the years and it’s always been a hit. Thanks for sharing!

    This is one of our favorite recipes and was such a huge hit at our family potluck yesterday! Definitely everyone’s favorite! Can’t wait to make this recipe again!

    Great recipe! I remembered a block party about a half an hour before it started so I looked up quick recipes and I had almost everything for this one. I whipped it up very quickly and got multiple compliments on it. I added fresh chopped cilantro and poblano since I had it and used sour cream instead of yogurt since it’s what I had. I’ll bet it tastes much more flavorful after it sits in the refrigerator overnight so I’m excited to taste it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

    Took it to a neighborhood bbq. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipie not a lot of leftovers, had to make more the next day

    1. Rotel is a brand name. It is canned, diced, tomatoes with chopped onion, green chilis, and other seasonings. It isn’t as watery as most canned tomatoes. You can use 2 10 ounce cans of seasoned diced tomatoes instead of Rotel, just make sure you drain them well. Thanks for asking!

  5. I would love to try this using all Greek yogurt. Do you think the non-fat kind would work okay? That’s the only kind I buy.
    Thanks.

    1. You can definitely do all Greek yogurt. I, personally, am not a fan of the non-fat Greek yogurt (too runny and lacks taste to me) but you can try it!
