Ingredients
- 2 16 oz tubs sour cream
- 1 1 oz packet ranch dip mix
- 2 4 oz cans green chiles, drained
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add the sour cream, ranch dip mix, drained green chiles, shredded Mexican blend cheese, and red pepper flakes to a large mixing bowl.
- Stir all the ingredients together gently but thoroughly until the spices and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the sour cream.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Serve chilled alongside your favorite sturdy chips, pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
Pro Tip: Make sure to drain the canned green chiles completely using a fine-mesh strainer before adding them to the bowl. Any excess liquid will water down the sour cream and prevent the dip from achieving that perfect, scoopable thickness.
