❓ Q & A
Q1: Why is my dip watery?
Most common reason: not draining corn and Rotel enough.
Drain thoroughly and blot dry.
Q2: Can I make this even lower in points?
Yes:
-
Use fat-free cheddar
-
Replace half the mayo with extra Greek yogurt
-
Reduce cheese to ¾ cup
This can bring it closer to 2 points per serving depending on your plan.

Yes:
-
Use dairy-free cheese
-
Use dairy-free yogurt alternative
-
Replace mayo with avocado-based mayo
(Points will vary.)
Q4: How long does it last?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

Not recommended. The yogurt and mayo may separate when thawed.

Absolutely. Try:
-
Shredded rotisserie chicken

Black beans (rinsed & drained)
