Corn Dip Recipe – Tasty & Cheap!

May 30, 2013 by Billie Hillier 6 Comments

Corn Dip Recipe

Some people call this Corn Dip Recipe by other names such as Corn Relish, Texas Caviar or Mexican Corn Dip. I call it DELISH!

In our local coupon group, we were discussing the how to price match produce at stores that allow it and different recipes were tossed around so I thought I would share my corn dip recipe with you that I recently made for a camping trip for Memorial Day. We grilled the corn on the cob for a roasted flavor that had me hiding behind a tree with the bowl!

I made it again just so I could take the photos… oh who am I kidding, I downed a bag of chips with it too because I could eat it every day – I don’t need an excuse!

Below is how much I paid for my ingredients that were on sale instead of paying full price at the store:

  • Avocados = $.20 each
  • Cilantro = $.25 each
  • Corn on the cob = $.20 each
  • Jalapeno peppers = $.33 per pound
  • Tomatoes = $.50 per pound

My total to make this tasty dish was approximately $1.36 out of pocket for the ingredients I had to purchase.

If you don’t know how to roast corn, the best way to do it is soak the corn {do not shuck the corn – leave in the husk} and place in a bowl of water for about 20 minutes. Once the corn has been soaked, place on your grill for 15 minutes and turning 2 -3 times during the “steam bath.”  Remove and cool so you can cut it from the cob.

This dish is so simple… really, check out the directions!
