Ingredients and Substitutions
Cream cheese This is the main ingredient in the dip, and it makes the dip the creamiest! Use low-fat or whole-fat, depending on your taste.
Mayonnaise – Mayonnaise can be used to make dips. It helps keep the creamy consistency. For the best taste, I prefer olive oil mayonnaise.
Monterey Jack cheese – Use a block to make the creamiest dip. It is a higher-quality cheese than shredded and it will not be dry if you shred it yourself. It’s well worth the extra effort. If you prefer, you can use sharp cheddar cheese instead of jack cheese. However, I like the color and flavor that jack cheese brings.
Chopped green chilies- Straight out of the can! They are so flavorful and you won’t even notice the difference.
Diced Peppers- The canned jalapenos are perfect for this recipe. They’re soft and tender and perfect to dip into.
Add Garlic — Add a teaspoon or tablespoon of minced, garlic-flavored powder to the code.
Add corn ā Fold in 3 ears of corn, removing the stalks. This will turn into a corn dip with a kick!
Add Chorizo or Bacon- These two ingredients go well with this dip.
What to serve Jalapeno dip with
Tortilla Chips This dip is served traditionally with tortilla chips. The jalapeno salsa is balanced by the salt.
Corn chips ā Fritos make a great addition to jalapeno dips and are easy to scoop!
Bagel Chips
Butter Crackers- Serve this dip with butter crackers to elevate it. We love Toasteds. The dip is transformed into a delicious spread.
