Ingredients

(Serves 8–10)

• Sour Cream – 24 oz (about 3 cups)
• Taco Seasoning Packet – 1 (1 oz) packet
• Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend – 2 cups
• Rotel Tomatoes (drained) – 1 (10 oz) can

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Drain the Rotel tomatoes thoroughly in a colander to remove excess liquid. This prevents the dip from becoming too watery.
2. If using shredded cheese from a block, grate it finely for better mixing.

Step 2: Mix the Dip

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning packet . Stir until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the sour cream.
2. Add the shredded Mexican cheese blend to the bowl and mix gently to incorporate.
3. Fold in the drained Rotel tomatoes , being careful not to overmix to maintain some texture.

Step 3: Chill the Dip

1. Cover the dip with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container.
2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, chill for 1–2 hours.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl.
2. Serve with your favorite dippers, such as:
   • Tortilla chips
   • Veggie sticks (carrots, celery, bell peppers)
   • Crackers or pita chips
3. Garnish with additional shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or a sprinkle of taco seasoning for a decorative touch, if desired.

Tips for Success

• Customize the Flavor: Add extras like diced green chiles, black olives, or jalapeños for a spicier kick.
• Make It Healthier: Substitute low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese to lighten up the recipe.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving again.
