Spicy Cheesy Corn and Tomato Dip – you’ve got perfection here with this spicy, creamy and cheesy corn dip. Time to start the party!

Greetings all! I hope you’re all having a great weekend and are ready to do some cooking. This weekend I have a special corn dip for you that’s spiiiiicy and totally delicious. Did I mention how spicy this corn dip is? And it’s all from that serrano pepper. Now if you can’t handle the heat, then by all means leave it out and you’ll still have a  yummy and cheesy corn dip but if you’re brave, add that serrano pepper in there and dig in.

Now I love corn so to me the idea of turning a favorite ingredient into a dip is common sense. So that’s what I put into this dip, my favorite things, corn, tomatoes, serrano peppers, and loads of cheese. You may wonder why the tomatoes but trust me when I tell you that you will welcome the coolness of the tomato as you eat this dip. But tomatoes and cheese are again, common sense to me. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like mac and cheese. Like flip and flops. Do you know that in the summer when it’s hot and we don’t feel like cooking, our main go to meal at dinner time is feta cheese and tomatoes? Have you ever tried the two? OMG! There’s nothing better.

I grew up on that stuff, feta cheese and tomatoes. But tomatoes go with any cheese, so that’s why they’re so perfect in this dip. Oh and speaking of weird, I am also the biggest sour cream fan there is. Another weird thing I like to eat is just sour cream on bread. Have you guys tried that, or am I alone in this? I love those kind of simple snacks, sour cream on bread, nutella on bread (let’s not go there), honey on bread. Seriously people, if you have not tried these things you are missing out in life!

So this is what’s so great about this dip. When you have all those great ingredients and you marry them all together, well it just works. It’s pure happiness.

I used tortilla chips here to scoop up this yummy dip, but I can think of so many other better things. Like crackers, or pita chips, or even just a nice loaf of crunchy French bread. Oh yeah, baby! Now you’re talking my language.

But don’t listen to me yapping here, go and try this and get ready for some heat.
