Tex-Mex Corn Dip

Sweet corn is one of the many benefits of summer and I take full advantage of it. Grilled or roasted with plenty of butter and seasoning. I love elote which is a Mexican street corn but there is also a dish called esquites in which the kernels are sliced off the cob and sauteed in butter. Both versions get a dose of mayo and cheese and the esquites are typically served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. Sounds like the makings of a great dip to me and I added some of the flavors of the southwest like tomatoes and cumin.

Summer also means back yard get-togethers and that means dips and snacks. I had the dip so now to choose the chip to go with it. I like browsing all the new flavors and there's usually quite a lot of wandering back and forth in the chip aisle trying to decide. Do other people do this?? I usually end up picking one new thing and one old stand-by for just in case.

I am a sucker for anything involving avocados, though, so the guacamole chips from Food Should Taste Good were speaking to me in the chip aisle. And they were a winner - full flavored and with a little bit of heat that matched perfectly with the natural sweetness of the corn and tomatoes in my dip. This is some seriously addictive stuff. Enjoy!
