Our easy jalapeƱo dip recipe is so simple to make and delivers totally on taste. TheĀ jalapeƱo peppers provide a nice mild to medium heat – just enough oomph to make the dip special, but not enough to scare off those who prefer milder fair. This is a dip that’s perfect for parties. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, and/or vegetable cruditĆ©s, and you’re off to the races.

If you want to increase the heat, you can opt for serrano peppers instead of the jalapeƱos. This will kick it up to twice the spice, easily, while providing a similar taste to the dip overall. Serrano peppers range from 10,000 to 23,000 Scoville heat units, while jalapeƱos range from 2,500 to 8,000 SHU. But both (when green) have a deliciously bright, grassy bite to them.
