Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted pepitas
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 lime, juiced

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of roasted pepitas, 1/2 cup of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, the juice of 1 lime, and salt to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted pepitas, cream cheese, and sour cream. Use a spatula or a fork to mix them together until they are well combined.
- Next, squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture. This will add a fresh, zesty flavor to your dip.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the dip is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave some pepitas whole or blend only partially.
- Taste the dip and add salt as needed to enhance the flavors. Start with a small pinch and adjust according to your preference.
- Once the dip is well mixed and seasoned, transfer it to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with additional roasted pepitas or a lime wedge for a decorative touch.
- Serve the Easy Pepita Dip Spread with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use high-quality, freshly roasted pepitas for the most intense flavor and best texture.
- For a smoother consistency, you can briefly pulse the ingredients in a food processor instead of mixing by hand.
- If the dip seems too thick, add a little more sour cream to achieve your desired creaminess.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a small minced garlic clove or a dash of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
- Experiment with different serving options - it works great as a dip, spread, or even a unique salad dressing!
