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 :)

Thanks again!
First, I live on Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, we don’t have the jarred things and mixed cheeses. You make your own or use what you have. This is the best dip I have had in a long time. Homemade salsa, had to use an edam cheese, but it is excellent. To spice it up some I used jalapeños. I also used a teaspoon of garlic and onion powder, not 1/2. Thank you!!!!

Made the dip for my work dip day, it turned out good. I wish I had gotten a spicier salsa, I went with the original suggested one. Tastes great though. Thank you for sharing!
