Rodeo Dip 1 (16 oz) tub sour cream
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 8 oz Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 3/4 cup tamed jalapeños, drained and chopped
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (Hatch style), drained
- 1 (11 oz) can Mexican corn, drained
- Salt, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by draining your canned ingredients thoroughly. Excess liquid can make your dip watery, so this step is important.
Chop the jalapeños into small pieces for even distribution.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Sour cream
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Chili powder
Stir until smooth and well blended. This creates the creamy, flavorful base of your dip.
Step 3: Add the Good Stuff
Now stir in:
- Shredded Mexican cheese
- Chopped jalapeños
- Drained Rotel tomatoes
- Mexican corn
Mix everything until evenly combined.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Give your dip a taste and add salt if needed. Depending on your ranch mix and cheese, you may not need much.
Step 5: Chill for Best Flavor
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
