This dip is very flavorful from the ranch, chili powder, cumin, and red bell pepper. However, it is not spicy-hot. If you like spicy hot dips, you can add a fresh, finely diced, seeded jalapeno. (Make sure to wear gloves or very, very thoroughly wash your hands after dicing the jalapeno. And under no circumstances should you attempt to put in your contacts (even after a few hours) after handling jalapenos, lol.)
