This is the viral TikTok Boat Dip recipe you need for your next gathering. It is a quick, no-bake, creamy appetizer packed with taco flavor, cheese, and Rotel tomatoes. Prepare this crowd-pleasing dip in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained well
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese and sour cream into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add the entire packet of taco seasoning mix to the cream cheese base. Mix until the seasoning is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly colored.
  4. Gently fold in the well-drained Rotel tomatoes and the thawed corn, if you are using it. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in half of the shredded Mexican blend cheese.
  6. Transfer the dip mixture to your serving dish. Top evenly with the remaining shredded cheese.
  7. Chill the dip for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold with your favorite tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, make sure you drain the Rotel very thoroughly. Excess liquid will thin the dip too much.
  • You can prepare this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
