Every time we post a dip recipe Cade and I end up singing, “When I dip, you dip, we dip…” That’s the only part of the song we remember, so it gets old pretty fast. We are both big suckers for dip recipes, especially during football or basketball season, but this pineapple habanero dip is perfect for year round.

It’s a little different than your normal cream cheese and cranberry dip, and it’s just as delicious as a gooey chorizo queso dip, but it totally has its own thing going on. We start by beating cream cheese until smooth then fold in queso fresco or if I’m craving something more salty we do cotija cheese. Then, pour a little of your favorite pineapple habanero salsa over the top (we buy ours from costco and make this amazing pork too) and serve with pita chips or crackers!

Can Habanero Peppers Burn Your Skin?

Habanero Peppers can burn your skin.

If you get the habanero pepper oil on your skin, it is important to remove it as soon as possible, otherwise the burning could continue for hours.

Use milk, yogurt,  lemon or lime juice to neutralize the burn.

Drink milk or eat yogurt to help with the burning.
