Mexicorn Dip and Broken Chips
We had a sunset cocktail on the terrace last week for 20 of TBG’s colleagues, and I was organizing a casual menu that would withstand the record-setting heat and humidity. As people would be arriving from work the food needed to be served in stages. Hmmm… what could I serve that would require me to buy Moi fave Stacey’s Simply Naked Pita Chips?
My sister L’s Mexicorn Dip!
I needed 2 bags of chips, which proclaimed 33% more chips free, and were priced 2 for $5. To be safe, I bought 3 bags.
I wasn’t safe enough. As guests were arriving I opened a bag of chips and poured them on the serving tray: most of the chips were crumbled bits of salty dust, no way would they scoop up dip. I quickly picked out the biggest pieces, and poured off the crumbled. 2nd bag: same. 3rd bag: ditto. Out of 3 8oz bags of Stacey’s Pita Chips I had enough large chips to fill one tray, not the 2 I had planned. And alot of left over Mexicorn Dip and pita chip crumbs.
Sister L’s Mexicorn Dip
2 cans Mexicorn
3 green onions chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup mayo
16 oz sour cream
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp lime juice
Drain mexicorn. Add green onions, cilantro and grated cheese. Mix mayo, sour cream, cumin, cayenne and lime juice in separate bowl. Add to other ingredients and chill for a few hours.
Serve with Stacey’s Simply Naked Pita Chips. If you’re lucky. I’ve heard rumours my sister-in-law C has a jello recipe using broken pretzels: would that work with pita chip crumbs?
Moi tip: I don’t like mayonnaise, especially in the heat. I replace the mayo with Fage Greek Yogurt.

I don’t get it. did you put the chip crumbs into the dip?
Ewwww, no! I threw the crumbs away! No soggy chip crumbs in the dip.
You didnt throw them away. I ate the crumbs. And personally I prefer the mayo.
The Queen Mum emailed Moi the broken pretzel recipe this morning. Any volunteers to test it with broken Stacey’s Pita Chips?
Don’t know how this would work with broken chips:
2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
3 T. sugar
3/4 cup margarine
8 oz cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 8oz. cool whip
1 lg or 2 sm. pkgs. strawberry jello
2 c boiling water
1 pt. frozen strawberries
Cream 3 tablespoons sugar and margarine together. Add pretzels. Press into a 9 X 13 inch pan. Bake 10 min. at 350. Let cool. Cream together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread over pretzel mixture, being sure to seal edges and then refrigerate. Mix together strawberry jello, water and strawberries. Let it partially set. Spoon mixture over cream cheese layer and refrigerate.
Oh bugger, i hate broken chips! but the dip recipe sounds yummy!
This is such a sad story … those broken chips are a tragedy and I think Stacy’s Pita Chips should send you three more bags!
Thanks, Lady Lotus. I agree!
