Recipe FAQs
Mexicorn is a canned corn product mixed with bell peppers, available in most grocery stores near the canned vegetables. If you can't find it, substitute with Southwestern or Fiesta Corn, which has a similar mix of flavors.
I love to serve this Mexicorn Dip with Fritos Scoops, tortilla chips, Ritz crackers, pretzels, saltines, crackers, and/or mild veggies like cucumbers. Margaritas or a nice cool brandy slush also go well with this dip!
Yes! Mexicorn dip can be made a day ahead. In fact, letting it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours can enhance the flavors. Just give it a good stir before serving.
Absolutely! For added spice, include chopped jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce, or cayenne pepper. You can also use hot Rotel instead of mild.
Storage & Freezing Instructions
Storage Instructions
Dip leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. The dip will keep its flavor, but most likely lose its smooth, creamy texture after a few days.
Freezing Instructions
I wouldn't recommend trying to freeze it due to the mayonnaise in the recipe.

I add tastefully simple onion onion and bacon bacon. It adds a lot.
It was good but rather bland tasting for me. Next time I’ll add cayenne or jalapeños. Needs a little salt too to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
Adding a pack of Sazon Con Azafran takes it to an all other level...
