Ingredients
Dip Base
- 1 (24-ounce) container full-fat sour cream
- 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes, drained well
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
Mix-ins and Garnish
- 8 ounces Colby Jack cheese, freshly shredded
- 2 green onions, green parts only, sliced
- Additional green onions and shredded cheddar cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the full-fat sour cream, drained Rotel tomatoes, low-sodium taco seasoning, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth, flavorful base for the dip.
- Fold in Cheese and Onions: Gently fold in the freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese and the sliced green parts of the green onions. Mixing carefully ensures the cheese and onions are evenly distributed without breaking down the ingredients.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Transfer the dip to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes up to 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the chilled dip from the refrigerator, give it a good stir, and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve chilled alongside your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, do not drain the Rotel tomatoes completely or add extra taco seasoning.
- Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for better texture and melt.
- Chilling the dip is essential for best flavor; avoid serving immediately.
- This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when properly covered.
- Try pairing with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or crisp vegetables like celery and carrots.
