This Keto Dip with Green Chiles is my new #1 favorite snack. It’s perfect for movie nights, super bowl parties, and everything in between. It’s also the perfect way to kick off one of my favorite Cast Iron Keto traditions, 5-Ingredient February.
All February long we’ll be posting easy delicious keto recipes that you’ll only need 5 ingredients (or less) to make, not including pantry staples i.e., oil and spices.
With the super bowl coming up, I couldn’t think of a better way to begin our annual celebration of simplicity than this amazingly delicious Keto Dip with Green Chiles.
This recipe actually only has 4 ingredients plus a few staple spices. You’ll need:
-
diced green chiles
-
cream cheese
-
sour cream
-
Mexican blend shredded cheese
I love creating and posting recipes like this because it allows us folks living the keto lifestyle to have options for what are traditionally tortilla and/or potato chip occasions. It can be extraordinarily frustrating to go to a party of some sort and be regulated to the veggie tray.
There are so many instances in which we gather around a communal table and spend time with the people that are most important to us. So recipes like this allow us to share in the camaraderie without feeling left out. In fact, this dip is so extraordinarily delicious you might convert some of your non-keto friends to join you in your keto journey.
If you follow us on social media you may already know we’ve been spending some time in New Mexico as the polar vortex assaults the rest of the county. And I couldn’t very well visit the Land of Enchantment without making some green chile recipes.
The chiles I used in this recipe were bought from a little market that specialized in local and organic products. They were in the produce section in a Ziploc bag with the word “HOT” written in sharpie on the front and that was all. Canned green chiles are always an option if you are in a different part of the country, but if you’ve got access to fresh I highly recommend it!

We served this Keto Dip with Green Chiles with pork rinds for an epic crunch but feel free to use your favorite keto tortilla or cracker as well.

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
instructions

Hello. Looks fantastic. There are usually about 6 different fresh chilies at the store. Which do you recommend?
We used freshly roasted hatch green chiles. If you can’t find those, canned diced green chiles will work!
