This Boat Dip recipe went viral on TikTok…it’s actually an adaption of my viral recipes, Fiesta Ranch Dip and Fiesta Party Dip, that I shared back in January 2014. “Boat Dip” uses taco seasoning in place of a ranch or fiesta ranch dressing/dip packet. A tasty variation of the original. A must-try!
I rocked the boat 😉 by adding corn…corn is optional. It’s great with or without corn.

I made this today. I drained the corn and added 2 cans of the mexi corn instead of a can of rotel due to my family having awful acid reflux. I left everything the same. I do wonder how it would taste in the oven

I have not tried it in the oven, Stephanie. I bet if you added cream cheese and reduce the amount of sour cream, topped with additional cheddar cheese and baked it until it’s heated through and bubbly, it would be great!

I just made this- very good and so easy! Makes a lot so you could cut in half
Might be wonderful as a hot dip too 🙂
