This “boat dip” recipe has been making the rounds on TikTok for a while so I had to give it a try! Usually TikTok recipes aren’t keto-friendly, but this one surprisingly is…without any modifications needed!
Even though it’s naturally low in carbs, this Boat Dip is packed with flavor! Cool, creamy, and zesty – it tastes like a 7-layer taco dip. However, it doesn’t require all the work and layering…and it’s much lower in carbohydrates than the original dip!
Why Is It Called Boat Dip?
There’s no big secret here…the name “boat dip” likely comes from the fact that this recipe is easy to make, easy to transport, and perfect for a boat party! It’s always a crowd-pleaser!

Kitchen Tools Used
Instructions
- Stir together the sour cream and contents of one packet taco seasoning in a large bowl until well combined and smooth.
- Add the drainer Rotel tomatoes and chilies and stir to mix.
- Add the shredded cheese a cup a handful at a time, stirring until everything is evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prep Tips
- While you can enjoy your freshly-mixed dip right away, I think it tastes fantastic when chilled. Be sure to keep any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- We used cheddar cheese, but you’re welcome to substitute with your favorite type of cheese. Sharp cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese are also tasty options. I recommend shredding your own cheese, as packaged shredded cheese often contains added starches and carbs.
- You can easily adjust the spice level of this dish by using “Mild” or “Hot” RO-TEL instead of original flavor.
- Use full fat sour cream (avoid low-fat sour cream) for this keto-friendly option. Fat is our friend on keto! Also, “light” or “low fat” dairy products often contain more sugar and carbs. You can also add a kick of heat by adding in hot sauce or hot salsa.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Can You Serve With Boat Dip?
Some of our favorite low carb dippers include:
- Pork rinds or pork skins (pictured)
- Keto Chicken Skin Crisps
- Fresh Sliced Veggies, such as red bell peppers, celery sticks, cucumbers, or jicama
- Low Carb Tortilla Chips
- Keto-Friendly Crackers
- Low Carb Pita Chips
If you’re not on a low carb diet, tortilla chips taste fantastic with this Mexican-inspired dip.
Can You Make Boat Dip Ahead Of Time?
Absolutely! This is a great recipe to prepare in advance because it keeps well in the fridge. You can mix everything together and keep covered in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Leftover dip tastes just as good as when you just make it, or even better because everything has a chance to mingle. For best flavor, I recommend enjoying on day 1 or day 2.
