Ingredients

For the Dip:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by assembling all your ingredients on the counter. This makes the process smoother and ensures that you won’t forget anything.
  • Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup sour cream. Use a whisk or spoon to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 3: Add Flavorings. Stir in 1-1/2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix, 1/8 teaspoon dried minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
  • Step 4: Incorporate the Chipotle Peppers. Finely chop the 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and add them to the mixture. Be cautious with the amount; you can always add more if you prefer a spicier dip!
  • Step 5: Add Lime Juice. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the mixture. This will add a refreshing zest that balances the creaminess.
  • Step 6: Finish with Green Onions. Finally, fold in the 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions. They add a lovely crunch and a pop of color to your dip.
  • Step 7: Chill and Serve. Cover the dip and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. When ready, serve it with your favorite snacks!

Notes

  • Let the dip rest in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight for the best flavor.
