recipe-southwest ranch dip

Okay, time for our first recipe here at Social Eject, Southwest Ranch Dip.  This a zesty twist on your basic Ranch Dip.  They now sell packets of a similar style but it's a lot funner to do your own.  This will spice up any party without actually burning out the guests.  Enjoy!

Southwest Ranch Dip

Ingredients
16 oz of Sour Cream
1 packet of Ranch Dip mix for the 16 oz size
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Ancho Chile Powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
​1/4 tsp California Chile Pepper
1/4 tsp Pasilla Chile Powder(or Chipotle Powder)
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano
1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
1/4 tsp White Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Chile Puree of Choice(Habanero, Serrano, or Chipotle)
Directions
Remove 1/2 tsp of Ranch Dip Mix and reserve for another recipe.  I like adding it to Roasted Red Potatoes.  This is not absolutely necessary, it just helps balance the flavors.  Add the remaining  Dip mix to the Sour Cream and mix with a whip.
Add the rest of the seasonings to the Sour Cream and mix in completely.  If your Oregano is chunky, grind it in a molcajete.  If you don't have one, just break it down between your fingers and the palm of your hand until you get a finer grain.
Chill at least an hour before you serve.
Serve with Tortilla Chips, Carrots, Mixed Vegetables or anything else you enjoy with Ranch Dip.
