Here is why this boat dip recipe is amazing:
- Ready in 5 minutes.
- Loved by everyone, if they are keeping keto or not!
- Easily transported and pairs well with pork skins, veggies and non low carb chips.
- Make it ahead and allow the flavors to develop for an even better dipping flavor.
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.

Tiktok Boat Dip Ingredients:
- 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.
- Rotel - Drained, or other brand of canned diced tomato and chopped green chilies
How to make boat dip viral recipe:
- Drain the Rotel in a colander for a few minutes to remove the excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, stir together all the ingredients.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour or up to overnight for the best flavor.
- Serve with pork skins, and chopped vegetables for a keto-friendly option.
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.
Frequently asked questions, answers and tips on how to make boat dip:
Why do you drain the Rotel?
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.
What do you serve with boat dip?
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!
What if I can't find a sugar-free taco seasoning?
If your grocery store does not carry a sugar-free taco seasoning you can easily make one yourself. Head over to my keto taco seasoning recipe and make a batch in less than 5 minutes.

Do you use 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes cause it’s says Rotel twice in recipe?

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

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.Reply

I added about 3/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. It was delicious!Reply

If you use lowfat greek yogurt instead of sour cream, it cuts the calories in half! Tasty stuffReply
