Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel, drained (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix them together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the drained Rotel, shredded cheese, and the entire packet of taco seasoning mix. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve your cold Boat Dip chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Drain the Rotel well; excess liquid will make your dip watery.
- For a thicker dip, you can reduce the amount of sour cream slightly.
- This dip tastes best after chilling for one hour, but it is ready to eat after 30 minutes.
- You can substitute the Mexican blend cheese with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese.
