Maybe a better question to ask you is, How often do I tell you I love Mexican food?

You know we like to celebrate “Taco Tuesday” nearly every day that ends in “day” around here.  Honey Lime Chicken Fajitas, Pork Carnitas, Tacos, Mexican Lasagna, Black Bean Burritos, the list goes on and on…..

And I know that you all are with me on the whole Mexican thing because I can read minds like that. Okay, maybe I am not a mind reader, my but Mexican Taco Dip and Taco Cups have been blowing up Pinterest lately.

So I introduce to you Skillet Corn Dip.

Oh and did I mention it comes together in a simple 5 minutes. Truly, this 5 Minute Creamy Corn Dip should really be more like a 30 Second Creamy Corn Dip it is just that fast.

Notes on Skinny Hot Corn Dip

• You can also use fire roasted frozen corn or grill your own corn (about 4-5 cobs of fresh corn) in replace of Mexicorn.
• I use Greek yogurt in this corn dip to make it healthier, but still creamy. Feel free to use half sour cream and half Greek yogurt for a richer, still delicious dip.
• I have added 1 teaspoon of cumin to this dip before and that added smokey flavor enhances the corn dip nicely. I have left it off the recipe for a more authentic corn dip.
