8 ounces cream cheese, softened1

1 cup sour cream1
-
7 ounces canned pickled jalapeños, with the juice1
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder1
-
½ teaspoon black pepper1

2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder1
-
1 cup cilantro, chopped1
-

-
: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional seasoning if needed1.
-

-
: For a milder dip, reduce the number of jalapeños or remove the seeds and membranes1. If you like it hot, add more jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce1.
-

-
: Fresh cilantro and freshly ground black pepper make a big difference1.
-

-

-
: Add a dollop for extra flavor.
-
: Spread it on for a zesty kick.
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. The flavors actually meld together even more as it sits, so it’s great to make ahead!

Absolutely! Just finely chop the jalapeños and cilantro, then mix everything together in a bowl. It might not be quite as smooth, but it will still taste amazing.
-
You can, but the flavor will be different. Pickled jalapeños have a tangy flavor that really makes the dip special1. If you use fresh, roast them first to soften them up and bring out their flavor.
-
It has a kick, but it’s not overwhelming. You can easily adjust the heat by using fewer jalapeños or removing the seeds1.
