Is creamy jalapeno dip spicy?

It’s mild to medium spicy.

The jalapenos definitely add some heat, but pickled jalapenos are noticeably less spicy than fresh jalapenos.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover jalapeno dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Can I Add Avocado To This Viral TikTok Dip?

This creamy jalapeno dip using canned jalapenos has been making the rounds all over TikTok recently- and for good reason!

It tastes like it came from your favorite restaurant, but can be whipped up in your blender in under 5 minutes.

The latest version of this viral dip made popular by Cardi B adds two ripe avocados to the dip, and blends them in with all the other ingredients.

It’s a delicious addition that gives it a slightly green hue and incorporates extra creaminess from the addition of the fruit.

If using, make sure the avocados are ripe before using then peel them and remove the pit before adding them to your blender.

Tips and Tricks

If you want to add some extra heat, add a portion (or a whole!) fresh jalapeno.
Make sure you scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times so everything gets evenly mixed together.
For a bit of extra flavor, add a tablespoon of Ranch seasoning.
