Hot Crackers With Fiesta Dip Recipe

These outrageously addictive Hot Crackers with Fiesta Dip are a Christmas miracle! A coworker's recipe blew me away – crispy whole wheat crackers marinated in a fiery blend of oil, pepper flakes, taco seasoning, and ranch. The key? Don't substitute regular Ritz! Whole wheat is essential. Fiesta ranch packets can be tricky to find (Food Lion is a reliable source). Marinate for at least 3 days – longer is better, but I can't resist for more than 3! Prepare for a flavor explosion that will have you coming back for more!

How to Make Hot Crackers With Fiesta Dip

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 1 packet taco seasoning, and 1 packet fiesta ranch dry dressing mix.
  3. Place 1 pound whole wheat crackers in a large resealable bag.
  4. Pour the oil mixture over the crackers. Seal the bag tightly and gently toss to coat the crackers evenly.
  5. Let the bag sit on the counter for at least 72 hours (3 days), turning the bag over twice daily. You can marinate for up to 10 days for even more intense flavor!
  6. For the Fiesta Dip: In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces sour cream with 1 packet fiesta ranch dry dressing seasoning. Mix well.
  7. Once marinated, spread the crackers on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until desired crispness is achieved. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Serve the hot crackers immediately with the cool Fiesta Dip. Enjoy!
