# Ingredients:

Boat Dip

01 - 16 oz (450 g) sour cream
02 - 1 can (10 oz / 284 g) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

03 - Add the drained Rotel and shredded cheese to the bowl. Fold gently with a spatula until everything is evenly distributed.
04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors meld. Top with sliced green onions just before serving.

# Good to know:
