SPICY CORN DIP RECIPE BY TASTY



Spicy Corn Dip Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: corn, canola oil, medium red onion, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, scallions, garlic, Frank's® Buffalo Ranch Thick Sauce, green chile, shredded pepper jack cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, McCormick® chili powder, tortilla chip

Provided by Tracy Raetz

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 ears corn, shucked
1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for brushing
1 medium red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and light green parts separated from dark green parts
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 bottle Frank's® Buffalo Ranch Thick Sauce, divided
1 can green chile, diced
8 oz shredded pepper jack cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 teaspoon McCormick® chili powder
tortilla chip, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a large heavy-bottomed pan over high heat.
  • Brush the corn with canola oil and cook in the pan, turning frequently with tongs, until lightly charred on all sides, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then cut the corn kernels off the cobs.
  • While the corn cooks, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large, oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the red onion, bell pepper, poblano, and the white and light green scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, 2-3 minutes more.
  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the corn kernels, ½ cup Frank's® Buffalo Ranch Thick Sauce, the green chiles, pepper Jack cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine, then spread in an even layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the chili powder.
  • Bake until the cheese is golden brown and the dip is bubbling, 20-25 minutes.
  • Drizzle the remaining Frank's® Buffalo Ranch Thick Sauce on top and garnish with the dark green scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen or canned corn will work in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in corn dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese will work well.
  • Add some spices. Spices can help to add flavor to corn dip. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the corn dip warm. Corn dip is best served warm. You can either serve it immediately after making it or you can reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Corn dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover corn, and it's also a crowd-pleaser. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a corn dip recipe that everyone will enjoy.
