Combine equal parts salsa and sour cream with a cup or more of shredded cheese to create a creamy, tangy dip in minutes without cooking. Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos or baked potatoes. Sour cream provides richness and tang, salsa contributes acidity and heat, and cheese adds savory texture. Serve cold, at room temperature, or briefly warm to melt the cheese (avoid overheating sour cream). Customize with jalapeños, hot sauce, cilantro, lime, taco seasoning, bacon, seasoned beef, beans, corn, olives, or swap cheeses and add cream cheese or pico de gallo.
The result is a smooth, slightly spicy dip that's perfect with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or even as a topper for tacos or baked potatoes. The sour cream brings richness and tang, the salsa adds acid and a bit of heat, and the cheese ties everything together with texture and savory flavor. Plus, it works at nearly any temperature - serve it cold, at room temperature, or briefly warmed to melt the cheese (just be careful when heating sour cream).
Don't let the simplicity fool you - you can easily elevate this dip with a few clever additions. Toss in chopped jalapeños or a few splashes of hot sauce for extra heat, or stir in fresh cilantro and lime juice for brightness. To drive that taco night flavor in a little more, add a packet of your favorite taco seasoning. Crumbled bacon or crispy taco-seasoned ground beef turns it into a heartier snack.
