    One thing about this fiesta dip is you can kick it up a notch however you want!

      So good!!!!! Will be making over and over!! I love fiesta dips and usually buy the wind and willow premade packets where you just add sour cream but this is so much cheaper and tastier in my opinion!!

      Making this tomorrow! Wanted to let you know that under the “how to make” section, you have “ rotten” listed as an ingredient. I assume it should say Rotel 🙂

        Hi Sadi! 1 oz is usually what comes in 1 pack of taco seasoning. You can use 1 tablespoon in it's place. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

        Hi Judy. Rotel is a mix of tomatoes and green chilis. If you can't get it in stores then you can mix 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 small an of green chilies together to get the same thing.
