Whenever either of us has had a long or particularly hard day, we LOVE going tohappy hour.
Trevor needs corn.
I need a margarita.
Pasqual’s (a local Madison, WI chain) TOOOO the rescue.
I get my favorite happy hour margarita (it’s $5 and tastes ah-mazing) and Trevor gets his Mexican street corn dip (and a marg, too, of course 😉 ).
But now that we’re not living in Madison anymore – wait whaaaaat (read more here) – I neededto make my OWN version of Trevor’s all time favorite dip.
Enter:Instant Pot Mexican Corn Dip.
Step One: Cook corn in Instant Pot. This only takes 5 minutes. How magical is that?!
Step Two: Remove corn and cut corn off the cob.
Step Three: Place corn kernels intoInstant Pot with cream cheese, mayo, and a whole lotta spices: chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Step Four: Cook for 5 minutes.
Step Five: Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and basil <– yes. Basil. It sounds weird, but Pasqual’s does it and it’s freaking genius.
Step Six:Open bag of favorite tortilla chips and eat your weight inInstant Pot Mexican Corn Dip.
I LOVE the slight tang of the mayo with the creaminess of the cream cheese. That combo mixed with sweet corn and all the smokey spices, fresh lime juice, and earthy basil . . .
Like I said, it tastes like heaven.
