For a smoother dip, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Be careful not to overmix. If you don't have pico de gallo seasoning, a pinch of cumin and chili powder can be used as a substitute. The dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator. For a vegan option, substitute the cream cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
