Ingredients

  • Sour Cream – for a smooth, tangy base
  • Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chilies – adds juicy heat and brightness
  • Taco Seasoning – delivers bold Tex-Mex flavor
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese – provides salty, savory richness
  • Cream Cheese (optional) – thickens the dip with velvety texture
  • Jalapeños (optional) – for added spice and kick

Instructions

  1. Drain the Rotel tomatoes thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend sour cream with taco seasoning until smooth.
  3. Fold in Rotel, shredded cheddar, and optional cream cheese and jalapeños.
  4. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor.
  6. Serve with tortilla chips, veggies, or pretzels as desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Stir well before each serving for best texture.
  • Adjust spiciness with jalapeños or hot sauce to your preference.
  • Make it ahead of time — it tastes better after chilling for a few hours.
