My Doritos dip recipe is simple, flavorful, and the perfect dip to go with a bag of Doritos. If you are hosting a game day gathering, party, or just want a snack, this dip can be made in minutes and is always a crowd pleaser.

One of my favorite snacks, or even light meal, is chips and dip. Of course you can’t go wrong with classic chips and salsa, but this Doritos dip takes snacking to a whole new level.

It’s a delicious dip with the perfect zesty flavor and texture to go with a bag of Doritos chips. If I ever need a dip for game day, this is a recipe that I always reach for.

It’s creamy, chunky, and so satisfying. The boldness of Doritos chips really compliment the dip. But don’t worry, if you don’t have Doritos, this dip goes well with all kinds of chips, crackers, and even vegetables.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this Doritos dip recipe.

• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese makes the creamy base.
• Sour cream: Adds a little tang and creaminess.
• Mexicorn: Canned Mexicorn adds color and flavor with corn and bell peppers. If you can’t find Mexicorn, use regular canned corn

• Green onions: Sliced green onions add great color and flavor.
• Ranch seasoning: I like using the Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Ranch seasoning because it adds a little extra kick. You can substitute with original ranch seasoning.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Soften the cream cheese. Leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften. This helps make it easier to mix helps to prevent lumps.
• Drain well. Make sure to drain the Mexicorn and Rotel well. This will help prevent the dip from becoming watery.
• Great for a party. You can leave this dip out for about 2 hours at a party.
