Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise, ensuring they are thoroughly blended into a smooth, creamy base.
- Open the taco seasoning packet and sprinkle the entire contents into the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture, stirring carefully to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the dip.
- Wash and finely chop the green onions, discarding the root ends and using both the white and green parts for maximum flavor.
- Rinse the tomatoes and dice them into small, uniform pieces, removing any seeds or excess liquid to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Gently fold the chopped green onions and diced tomatoes into the seasoned sour cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop a more robust taste profile.
- Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or other Mexican-inspired dishes.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your sour cream and mayonnaise are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Seasoning Secret: For an extra kick, consider using a spicy taco seasoning or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and crisp green onions for maximum flavor and texture.
- Chill Out: The longer you let the dip rest in the refrigerator, the more the flavors will intensify - aim for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add diced jalapeños, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice to personalize your dip.
- Serving Suggestions: While tortilla chips are classic, try this dip with fresh vegetable sticks, as a sandwich spread, or a topping for grilled meats.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making party prep a breeze!
