Ingredients and Variations
Sour Cream: Full-fat sour cream delivers an extra creamy consistency, but you can make a “skinny” version and use fat-free sour cream if you like. Half sour cream and half Greek yogurt produce a tangier dip with some extra nutrients as well. Full Greek yogurt will work too.
Cheese: Cheddar cheese, a Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or a combination of any of these will add extra cheesy flavor to boat dip!
Tomatoes: Rotel tomatoes, one of my very favorites, come pre-seasoned with some green chiles added to save time and add a punch of spicy flavor to boat dip. Feel free to add a dash of hot sauce, if you like.
Seasonings: Use packaged taco seasoning or make your own so you can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes. Even ranch seasoning is super easy to make!
Variations: Boat dip is great for using up leftover cooked ground beef or shredded chicken. Sliced black olives, jalapenos, green chiles, and even chopped spinach or kale will add extra flavor and a pop of nutrition. Use what you have!
