Description
Zesty, spicy, and irresistibly creamy, this Creamy Jalapeño Dip combines fresh jalapeños, garlic, and lime juice with a smooth, rich base, making it a perfect party dip or taco spread.
Ingredients
3 fresh jalapeños, stems removed (seeds removed for less heat)
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the jalapeños and garlic to a blender or food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more lime juice for brightness or an extra jalapeño for more heat.
- Transfer the dip to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Remove jalapeño seeds for a milder dip.
Add avocado for extra creaminess.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
Dip improves in flavor after a few hours or overnight chilling.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
