Instructions
Instructions
- Roast the jalapeños: Broil or grill the jalapeños until the skins are blistered and charred. Transfer to a covered bowl for 10 minutes, then peel, remove seeds if desired, and finely chop.
- Prepare the creamy base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until creamy.
- Add the mix-ins: Fold in the roasted jalapeños, cheddar cheese, bacon, corn, black beans, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors can fully develop.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cheddar cheese, bacon, roasted jalapeño slices, and fresh cilantro. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, Fritos, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the dip or add a finely diced serrano pepper. Be sure to drain the corn and black beans thoroughly to keep the dip thick and creamy. This dip tastes even better after chilling overnight and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
