Ingredients
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
1 packet (about 1.25 oz) taco seasoning mix
-
½ cup salsa
-
¼ cup green onions, chopped
-
1–2 tablespoons diced jalapeños (optional, for spice)
-
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make the Dip
Step 1 – Prepare the Base
In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded Cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 2 – Mix in the Flavors
Add taco seasoning, salsa, green onions, jalapeños (if using), cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Step 3 – Taste and Adjust
Give the dip a quick taste. Add extra lime juice for tang, more jalapeños for heat, or a pinch of cayenne if you’re feeling bold.
Step 4 – Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This gives the flavors time to meld together and deepen.
Step 5 – Garnish and Serve
Before serving, sprinkle on extra cilantro and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness. Serve cold with a big bowl of Doritos—Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Spicy Sweet Chili, or whichever flavor you love most.
Tips and Variations
-
Smooth & Creamy: Always use room temperature cream cheese for the best texture.
-
Heat Control: Adjust the spice level by changing up the jalapeños and taco seasoning.
-
Vegan Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
-
Mix-Ins: Try adding diced tomatoes, black olives, or even corn for a twist.
