Like a taco dip, but better, this boat dip is the summer poolside snack that you are going to want to make all season long. As seen on TikTok this dip is ready in 5 minutes but is better after an hour in the refrigerator.
Looking for some simple summer recipes? I got you! Summer is also the perfect time to make one of my favorite krab recipes. I also never have to turn on the oven when I make no bake peanut butter pie. And if you have fresh lemons I highly recommend giada chicken piccata over pasta.

- Sour Cream - full fat
- Taco Seasoning - sugar free taco seasoning packet or 2 tablespoons of keto taco seasoning. Use ¼ cup of taco seasoning if you are using your own blend.
- Cheddar Cheese - full fat, shredded. Mexican blend cheese, extra sharp cheddar or other cheddar cheese are delicious options.
(cheese lovers are going to want to make my Ranch Crackers with Cheez-its) - Rotel - Drained, or other brand of canned diced tomato and chopped green chilies
I had to come up with an appetizer in a snap and I had all the ingredients for this recipe. I added green onions to the dip and boy oh boy will this be a keeper. Yummy.

Boat Dip (Taco Dip) Variations
- Bacon Bits - make your own bacon bits with keto-friendly bacon (optional but still delicious)
- Diced Chilis - add a 4 ounce can of diced chillis for additional heat and flavor.
- Jalapeno - add more spice and heat with a finely dices jalapeno.
- Mexi-Corn - not keto-friendly but a small can of drained Mexi-Corn will add a touch of sweetness and crunch to this dip.
Came Out Great!
I also made one with a little hamburger and sausage and a little taco seasoning mixed together and put that on the bottom and then topped it with the rest came out awesome. A crowd pleaser!

It is also good when you add cream cheese and some ranch dressing. If you don't like rotel I always use my favorite salsa.

much better with Ranch, not taco mix!

Frequently asked questions, answers and tips on how to make boat dip:
Completely optional but I like to remove the extra moisture to help keep the dip from becoming too watery. If you are in a hurry or prefer you can just dump in the full can.
If you are keeping keto or low carb serve pork rind chips or cup up vegetables. I don't keep keto so I love a Frito Scoop corn chip or traditional tortilla chip. I have even been known to dollop this dip on tacos or a burger!

I have made this multiple times and it has been a hit every time! Great with Veggies, chips, crackers, whatever you got. Just make it already!!
Sarah Mock says
'Just Make It Already!'... best comment of the day!! Thanks Serena. I appreciate you. ~ Sarah
Jen Henry says
If made extra can you freeze for another date? How long?
Sarah Mock says
Thanks for the question Jen. Personally, I have not frozen any extras. Somehow, my family will eat the whole recipe in one sitting! (nuts... I know!) But based off of the ingredients in this recipe it should freeze well. BUT upon thawing, the texture may be a little loose or runny. I would 'fix' that by adding in some more shredded cheese to 'bulk' it up. Just my insight and suggestion... freeze at your own risk.
Lee says
Do you use 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes cause it’s says Rotel twice in recipe?
Sarah Mock says
I see what you mean! No. It is just 1 can. I need to adjust the associated ingredient in the recipe card. Step 1 is to drain the rotel, and THEN use it later in the recipe.
Thanks! Sarah

Elise says
I made this dip for tailgate today, I made it the night before so it was in the frig for about 20 hours. At the game the dip hot more liquidy because of the heat, but it did not have much flavor, I think it was too much as our cream. The recipe calls for 24oz but 16oz would have been better.
Barbara Willoughby says
I added about 3/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. It was delicious!
Beth Davis says
If you use lowfat greek yogurt instead of sour cream, it cuts the calories in half! Tasty stuff
