I can’t get enough of all things ranch lately. This chipotle dip is my new recent obsession. Unlike my creamy traditional ranch dressing, this dip has some spice!

Why I love this recipe

It’s the perfect dip for enjoying with raw veggies because it has so much flavor but it is incredibly versatile. I like to make a batch up and enjoy it over a few days on burgers, with chips, it goes with so many meals!

I also love that I can whip it up in minutes with just a spatula, no food processor or blender required.

Ingredients

  • Sour cream is the sturdy, creamy base of this dip but you can also use plain Greek yogurt
  • Lemon juice thins out the dip ever so slightly and brightens the flavors
  • Ranch and southwest chipotle seasonings add the tang and heat in the dip

Step by step

  1. Simply mix the sour cream, lemon juice, and seasonings together in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve (I recommend at least 30 minutes.)
  2. Garnish with fresh corn kernels if desired.

Tips for Best Results

  • you can thin this dip with more lemon juice or even a little water to make it more like a chipotle ranch dressing for salads
  • you can use lime juice instead of lemon juice if that is what you have on hand
  • want it even spicier? Add a dash of adobo sauce or some chopped jalapeño pepper to the mix

Serving suggestions

  • serve with chopped fresh veggies or tortilla chips for dipping
  • use it as a burger or sandwich spread
  • makes a great salad dressing for a Southwest salad
  • add a dollop to the top of your burrito bowls
  • use for dipping french fries or onion rings
  • serve with grilled chicken, fried shrimp, or even fish tacos

If you’re setting up an appetizer spread I suggest serving this chipotle dip with jalapeño popper wontons or bacon-wrapped jalapeños, crack corn dip, and corn avocado salsa.

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  1. This looks delicious! And need to compliment you on your easy to read recipe! I leave so many bogs because I can’t find the darn recipe buried in ads and text. It’s refreshing to see such a clean layout and to-the-point presentation 🙂

  2. I made this dip on a whim when I was looking for dips to make for New Years eve and I loved it. I could not stop eating the dip. It’s got a little bit of a kick from the seasoning but it seems like the perfect amount. It was very flavorful and paired well with multiple dipping options. I tried it with crackers, tortilla chips, green peppers, regular chips and carrots. I will be making this again for sure! Thanks for the great recipe!!
