So to keep up with the theme of Cinco de Mayo this week I made up some of my FAVORITE corn dip. I got this recipe from my Aunt Suzy who is an amaaaazing cook and I must warn you, this is very addicting! It's so quick and easy to make, takes less than 10 minutes and is perfect for any party, tailgate or gathering you might have. I did lighten this up a bit using light sour cream and mayo, but it does call for more cheese than I wish it had. But just remember to eat everything in moderation! :) Try this with some baked Tostitos, Fritos (which are MY favorite) or even some pita bread, it's great with anything! I hope you all are enjoying the festivities of Cinco de Mayo, I know I am! Cheers!!

Yum! This looks delicious, especially with Fritos! :)
Thanks Rachel! Yes I LOVE mine with Fritos :)
I love it how you always include the calories, fat grams etc. for each recipe.
And this corn dip looks mouthwatering - I am going to make it the next at-home movie night:-)
I've never heard of corn dip, but if it's from your aunt, an amazing cook, and one of your favorites, it must be good. I'll give it ago. Many thanks for passing the recipe along.
Though I have to say; don't Fritos negate the positives of a healthy dip? :)
Haha yes they do (shh), but I offered baked tostitos too which is a healthy alternative! ;)
Yummm!!
On the subject of healthy tortilla chips, have you ever made your own? We do that a lot and they are so much better than Baked Tostitos.
Our recipe: Brush some lime juice and just a little bit of oil (4:1 lime juice to oil) and some salt on some corn tortilla and bake at about 375. Keep an eye on them, I have burned more than my share. :)
Looking forward to trying your yummy dip!
This must taste great in wraps too! Yum...! Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe :).
This looks so yummy! A great tip that I heard about a while ago was using veggies like cucumber slices or green peppers to scoop up dips. It cuts a lot of calories but sometimes I just want some salty chips!
Wow, this sounds really good! A great summer appetizer.

Hi Kelly
Congrats on your award and thanks for the invite in foodbuzz :)
This sounds so good! I am ready to re-live Cinco de Mayo just so I can eat this dip! :)
This looks delicious! I am going to try to make a vegan version of this-- thanks for sharing! :)
can you make this dip using 2 percent of lower fat cheese?
Absolutely, you can use any cheese you'd like! :)
Just found your blog...I make this dip all the time...the "fatter" way. Cant wait to try it the "skinny" way. Hope you dont mind but I will be pinning LOTS of your posts!
I had your corn dip at the tail gate last night and it was AMAZING!!! So fresh for summer! I love your blog and plan to try some of your recipes. Hope the toe feels better today.
This dip is DELICIOUS!!! It is extra tasty with these crackers if you like a little spicy kick. http://sweetteethgoodies.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/these-put-the-crack-in-crackers/
