Chipotle’s Viral Cheesy Corn Dip Hack Is Taking Over Social Media
Chipotle customers have found another way to remix the chain’s menu, and this time, it’s all about the corn.
A cheesy corn dip made with Chipotle’s roasted chili-corn salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese and queso blanco has been making the rounds on social media, turning a few familiar menu ingredients into a creamy, cheesy dip that’s perfect for scooping up with tortilla chips.
Foodbeast first shared the hack on Instagram on October 25, and the post has since racked up more than 18,000 likes and 10,000 shares. The cheesy creation has continued to make the rounds on social media, with food creators sharing their own takes on the dip.
Among them is Food creator @dylaneatss_, who shared a video featuring the cheesy creation. It shows off the dip’s creamy texture, complete with plenty of melted cheese stretching from each bite.
The appeal is pretty straightforward. Chipotle’s roasted chili-corn salsa already brings a combination of sweet corn, peppers and citrus to the table. Add sour cream, shredded cheese and queso blanco, and you’ve got something that falls somewhere between a cheesy corn dip and Mexican street corn.
To recreate the hack, order sides of roasted chili-corn salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese and queso blanco, along with a bag of tortilla chips. Combine the ingredients until you reach your preferred consistency, and you’ve got your own version of the viral dip.
The resourceful hack is another example of how Chipotle customers continue to find creative ways to use the ingredients already on the menu. After all, sometimes the best thing on the menu isn’t actually on the menu.
