Use this dip to cool the heat in bold recipes like beef barbacoa tacos or to add richness to grilled meats and roasted vegetables. It pairs especially well with dishes that have bold, spicy flavors.
Easy, Simple Ingredients
The dip comes together in minutes with everyday pantry items. You only need sour cream, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, your favorite red salsa, and shredded Mexican cheese. Mix everything, chill at least one hour to let the flavors meld, and it’s ready to serve.

This dip is excellent with tortilla chips, corn chips, and a variety of fresh vegetables. Because it’s so adaptable, you can tweak the salsa choice or heat level to suit your taste.

Add Some Flavor to Your Food
This creamy sauce is a great finishing touch on tacos, fajitas, taquitos, or grilled chicken. Drizzle or dollop it on top to add tang and richness without overpowering the dish.
It also works as a flavorful dip for appetizers—try it with taquitos, grilled vegetables, or as a chilled complement to warm, spicy mains.

Great Party Appetizer
Dips bring people together, and this Mexican sour cream dip is an easy choice to bring to a party. It pairs well with chips and cut vegetables and also makes a satisfying topping for Mexican-inspired dishes.
