Old Town Gringos Cotija Elote Dip Recipe

National Chip and Dip Day is Thursday, March 23rd and Old Town Gringos is celebrating with some seriously tasty dips! With Spring officially here, Valley residents will be flocking to the pool and hosting pool parties to celebrate our sunny weather and these dips are perfect for not only celebrating National Chips and Dip Day, but for entertaining all season long, too. Old Town Gringos Elote Dip is a twist on the classic Elote. The popular corn on the cob street food in Mexico is transformed into a grilled corn, creamy cotija cheese, limes and chiles served alongside house made tortilla chips.

Old Town Gringos is one of the longest standing bars in Old Town Scottsdale and recently was revamped under its new ownership. The revamp includes a new food and drink menu and a new look, including the dips featured above.
