I first made this sour cream dip on Christmas Eve when I needed something to take to a party but was too frazzled to cook anything complicated. It disappeared quickly at the party, and no one was the wiser about how effortless it was!
I usually have all the ingredients to whip up a bowl of this dip at any given time, which is great for unexpected guests or kids saying, “Mom! I’m hungry!” (One of my kids seems to say that approximately every 15 minutes.)
You might have all the ingredients for this easy Mexican dip in your kitchen right now too. All you need is sour cream, salsa, a few spice cabinet staples, and shredded Mexican cheese. Go check, and I’ll wait right here…
Let’s make this easy sour cream dip!
All set? GREAT. Now just stir everything together, and serve it up with any kind of chip you’d like. This goes perfectly with potato or corn chips. You could even dip fresh veggies in it if you are into that sort of thing. I prefer to consider potatoes and corn my vegetables when I’m dipping. Plus, salsa has tomatoes, right?
Give this easy dip a try, and I think it will become a fast favorite at your house. Be sure to leave a comment to let me know how you like it. I love hearing from you! Happy dipping 🙂

Hi, do you think this can be made tonight for a party tomorrow? Or will it get too watery?
I’m sorry I didn’t get to this question in time, Gina! Did you end up making it ahead? I think it would be fine!
This is AMAZING. Made for potluck tonight but of course had to try it out. Hope I have ever enough left for the potluck. Lol
I am making this as we speak! I can’t wait. Do you drain the salsa or do you just dump it all in? I was worried about it being too much liquid.
Thanks!
Hi! So sorry I didn’t see this sooner, but I’m sure it turned out fine either way. Since it’s not that much salsa, it shouldn’t be too much liquid.
I love this dip! It’s big hit at our house. I use Pace Chunky Salsa, medium heat, and Kraft shredded 4 cheese Mexican. I add a little cayenne for a touch more heat.
Sounds great, Carol! I’m always a fan of extra heat in my recipes 🙂
Sounds delicious! Just curious what kind of Mexican cheese do u recommend? There are many to choose from. Thanks
Hi, Rae! I buy the pre-shredded cheese that is literally called “Mexican Cheese Blend” or something like that. I also sometimes get colby jack. The finely shredded cheese mixes in better than the more coarsely shredded, but either one works. Thank you!!
This was delicious! We loved it! I cut the dill in half since we’re not big dill lovers. It was perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Could you put this dip in a mold or would it be too loose to hold a shape? I have a fun “brain” mold for Halloween I would like to use for a dip.
Hi! This dip wouldn’t work for that since it has the consistency of sour cream. Do you like cream cheese and smoked salmon? If so, I think this would do well in a mold: https://wearychef.com/smoked-salmon-cream-cheese-dip/
Happy Halloween! 🙂
This dip and your buffalo chicken fajitas have become my new obsession!
Oh, that makes me so happy to hear, Jean. Thank you!!
