How to Make Mexican Fiesta Dip
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Drain the black beans and corn, dice the onions, and get the rest of your ingredients prepped according to the recipe card below.
- Combine black beans, corn, onion, avocado, tomatoes, feta cheese, and lime juice in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise and olive oil with the salsa until well combined.
- Now pour the mayo-salsa mixture over the black bean and corn mixture, and toss in the shredded cheese and cilantro.
Now grab your chips and starting dipping, or pile this Mexican dip onto your tacos. If you want to keep it on the healthier side, add just a tiny bit of the mayo sauce into the mix.
Because everything is so fresh, it’s best if this is prepared right before serving. Luckily there’s no cooking required, so it’s super quick to toss together! But if you do prep a few hours ahead of time, keep the mayo-salsa separate from the other ingredients, and mix right before serving.
The ingredients in this dip recipe are all fresh and healthy! The only thing that will add a few calories is the mayo mixture. Feel free to skip the mayo, or use plain Greek yogurt instead. Either way, this is a pretty healthy dip option overall.
Absolutely! This recipe is easy to make your own. Try adding sliced jalapeños or black olives. You could also drizzle taco sauce on top, or mix in some green onions.
This fiesta dip is SO easy to make. There’s no cooking involved, just grab your ingredients and mix it all together. You’re left with a super tasty Mexican Dip recipe that can be used in so many different ways. Whip it up in just a few minutes and start eating!
Serving Suggestions
There are plenty of ways to serve this black bean and corn recipe. Serve it cold with tortillas chips, veggie sticks, or any of your favorite dippers for a simple dip.
You can also use it as a topping or filling with tacos, or serve it on the side with your favorite Mexican dishes .
This mix of ingredients also makes a great fiesta salad. Simply top it off with the mayo-salsa like a dressing, grab a fork, and dig in! Trust me, it’s just as good. You can even mix in some fresh lettuce.
Tips!
- Add a small amount of the salsa mixture at a time to attain desired consistency.
- Skip or add ingredients as you please. If you don’t have something listed on hand, that’s okay! There are so many delicious things in this dip, you can still get a great result with something missing.
- Keep that mayo salsa recipe handy–it would be so good as a sauce for tacos or burritos too!
How long does fiesta dip stay fresh?
If there are any leftovers, this Mexican dip recipe is absolutely delicious the next day! It will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. The ingredients will start to mix and meld together, but it will still taste great. Just keep an eye on your avocado for browning.
I recommend storing the main dip mixture and the mayo-salsa mixture separately (if you haven’t already mixed everything together). That will keep the other ingredients fresh and crispy.
How can I make this dip creamier?
You have plenty of control over how creamy you make this fiesta dip! Pour in just a little bit of the mayo-salsa at a time and toss everything together. Add more until you get your desired consistency. If you use the full amount in the recipe card, you’ll get a really creamy dip. Use less to keep it on the chunkier side.
Gather your friends around, open a bag of your favorite chips and dig in to this creamy fiesta dip recipe. It’s so versatile and so tasty, plus it’s the easiest recipe ever!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
