Expert Tips
- Suggest mixing the sour cream and taco seasoning together first before incorporating the other ingredients so that the taco seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the sour cream base and doesn't get clumpy.
- Chilling the dip in the fridge for 30 minutes or more will intensify the dip flavors.
- Strain the Rotel before adding it to the dip to avoid it becoming runny.
It's called boat dip because it's intended to be a quick and easy dip with few ingredients that you can bring on boat trips (but it's great for all summer occasions like picnics, pool days, camping trips, and more!)
It's not recommended to freeze boat dip, as once it thaws, its texture will not be the same as when you first made it.
Store it in the fridge covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
