Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 16 ounce container sour cream
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix (dry)

Mix-ins

  • 15 ounce can corn kernels, drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 10 ounce can Rotel (seasoned diced tomatoes), drained
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Garnish (Optional)

  • Sliced green onions or fresh cilantro

For Serving

  • Tortilla chips or veggies


Instructions

  1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the sour cream and ranch seasoning mix. Stir vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and creamy, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the sour cream.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the drained corn kernels, black beans, Rotel tomatoes, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dip has a uniform consistency.
  3. Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. If desired, top with sliced green onions or fresh cilantro for extra flavor and a pop of color.
  4. Serve or Chill: Serve the dip immediately with tortilla chips or assorted veggies. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve for a slightly thicker texture.

Notes

  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours for better flavor melding.
  • For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use low-fat or Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Ensure beans and corn are well drained to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • Adding some freshly squeezed lime juice can brighten the flavors further.
