This jalapeno sour cream dip shows how simple ingredients taste incredibly delicious when combined.
If you rely on store-bought versions of dips, this sour cream dip with jalapeno is an effortless recipe to jumpstart to make your own.
Made with just a few pantry staple ingredients in under five minutes, like these Cajun aioli sauce and spicy peanut butter.
The secret behind every successful recipe is the easy-to-find ingredients. A delicious dish is all about the list of ingredients and the proportions of using it with a simplified process.
The simple recipes are always sure to hit(like this curry aioli sauce or blackened Mahi Mahi). It is prevalent among households and also in the Internet world.
Last week, my son got a dip bottle from Walmart for our recent party. Our family loved it very much.
And today, my family came up with a request to make them a delicious dip similar to the store-bought one but with a hint of heat.
Not to mention, our jalapeno sour cream dip version was more fabulous than the readymade ones.
The highlights of jalapeño sour cream dip
Highly customized. Increase or decrease the heat level to your preference. Add in more herbs for extra flavors. Adjust the consistency to suit the requirement.
Economical. This recipe is cost-effective, as most of the ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.
Effortless. Make all the ingredients ready and pulse. That's it; a delectable dish is prepared in a flash of seconds.
It's an excellent side dish. Serve with fresh-cut vegetables, pepper, chips, or tortillas.
The ingredients and possible substitutions
Sour cream. I have used regular sour cream. However, you may use light or vegan sour cream as well.
Onion powder and garlic powder. These are flavor enhancers, and I would highly advise adding them in the powder form as it also thickens the jalapeno sour cream dip.
Jalapeño pepper. I have used fresh peppers. You swap with pickled jalapeno if the fresh ones are not available.
Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise adds an excellent texture to the dip. Store-bought or homemade of them are great.
Cilantro. Optionally, you may add to brighten the flavors and substitute with the dill leaves or chives.
How to make
Add sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, and mayonnaise in the blender. Pulse for a minute until all the ingredients combine and turn smooth in texture.
Serve with fresh-cut vegetables or sliced peppers.
