Equipment
- Slow cooker 4 quart

Instructions
- Add all the ingredients - cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Mexican cheese, cotija,corn, chili powder, garlic, salt, and lime juice - to a slow cooker or crock pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour until melty.
- Stir well to combine, then cover and continue cooking on LOW for 1 hour until warmed through.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, either right out of the crockpot or transfer to a large bowl. Optionally garnish with Tajin, crumbled cotija, and fresh cilantro.
Notes
Corn: We like to use canned corn, but you can also use frozen - just make sure to defrost it first and drain any excess liquid. A standard 15 oz can of corn contains about 1.5 cups of corn kernels, so you'll need about 3 cups of frozen corn for this recipe.
Serving suggestions: Mexican street corn dip is perfect for parties and summer cookouts! It makes a lot, so it's great for a crowd. Serve it right in the crockpot so it stays warm for a few hours.
Storing and reheating: Store leftover dip in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds to 1 minute, until warm.
Scaling: You can easily scale this recipe up or down - just make sure to also scale the size of your crock pot accordingly. A 2 quart size works well for a half batch of this dip if you want a smaller amount (it's a great app or side dish for taco night!).
