Spicy Southwest Dip

Spicy Southwest Dip

This Spicy Southwest Dip recipe is quick and easy and it uses ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge and pantry. You can make this dip as spicy as you like by adding more Cajun seasoning. It’s great served with potato chips or tortilla chips or even raw veggie sticks.

Spicy Southwest Dip

Key to Success #1 – Make it Creamy

The base for this Spicy Southwest Dip is sour cream and Miracle Whip salad dressing.

You can certainly use mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip. You can also use light sour cream if you’d like to save a few calories.

Slap Ya Mama Spicy Dip

 

Key to Success #2 – Make it Spicy!

Now, we like things fairly spicy around here.

I used two teaspoons of Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning but you could use more or less depending on your taste preference. Or for an extra punch, add in some cayenne pepper.

You can also add a can of chopped green chiles if you prefer.

Make sure you drain the chiles before adding to the dip so that things don’t get too soggy.

Key to Success #3 – Make it Cheesy

Perhaps what makes this Southwest Dip extra special is the shredded cheese that gets mixed in.

I used a Mexican blend cheese that contained Monterey jack, cheddar, queso quesadilla, and asadero cheeses. You can use cheddar cheese also if you prefer.

I’d suggest using a finely shredded cheese for this recipe.
