How to Make Boat Dip

Nea Arentzen

Ingredients

• 14 ounces sour cream

• 8 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend

• 1 (10-ounce) can original Rotel

• 1 package taco seasoning

• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus more for garnishing

Instructions

1. Mix sour cream, shredded cheese, Rotel, taco seasoning, and cilantro together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Transfer the dip to a clean serving bowl and garnish with additional chopped cilantro.

2. Serve the boat dip with desired chips and an assortment of dippable vegetables such as carrots, celery, and snap peas.

Cooking Tips

• The sour cream and the liquid from the Rotel might split after sitting in the fridge for a while. If this happens, just give it a quick stir to recombine.

• If you have time, chill the dip in the fridge for an hour or so before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together more.

• Easily double the batch if you’re serving a crowd. Just make sure your mixing bowl or container is large enough as it can be hard to mix together otherwise.

Variations to Try

• For extra taco flavor, use taco-seasoned shredded cheese or sprinkle in more taco seasoning.

• Squeeze in some fresh lime juice for extra zestiness.

• Instead of serving it as a dip, serve it as a sauce to top your tacos or taco bowls with.

• If you can’t find Rotel or have leftover tomatoes, chop up your own tomatoes and green chile peppers and add them to the dip.

How to Store

Store the Boat Dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Since the base of the dip is sour cream, don’t let it sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours maximum.
