Easy to prepare party dip!
This is a great party dip, and really easy to prepare! With the holidays approaching, try this recipe for your guests. Whenever I go to visit family or friends, I’m always asked to bring this dip with me. I call it Mexican Pizza Dip.
Ingredients:
- 3- 8oz. packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
- 1- 15oz. jar of mild (or medium) chunky Salsa Sauce.
- 1 package of Mexican flavored shredded Cheese (found in most grocery stores, usually near the shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
- 1 medium tomato-diced in small pieces.
- 3- 4 teaspoons of dried chives, or one bunch of fresh finely chopped scallions. Personally, I prefer the chives.
- Pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and dried cilantro (to taste).
- A few drops of Frank’s hot sauce (optional).
- A large bag of Nacho Chips, Taco Chips or Scoop Taco Chips.
- At flat serving plate with a lip-at least 10 inches wide, to spread the dip on to.
Directions:
Mix the 3 bars of cream cheese, 1/3 jar of the Salsa Sauce, the diced tomatoes & the chives, (or diced scallions), together, by hand-in a mixing bowl. The consistency should be smooth, not lumpy & not too loose, yet loose enough to use as a dip. You may need to add a bit more of the Salsa Sauce to get the correct dipping consistency, however, start with 1/3 of the jar. Then mix in a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro to taste. You can add a few drops of hot sauce if you want a little more “kick”. Spread the mixture evenly onto the serving plate and sprinkle the Mexican Shredded Cheese over the cream cheese dip. Serve with Nacho, or taco chips.
Directions:
I’ve seen people add sliced black olives, additional diced tomatoes & additional diced scallions over the cheese topping. That’s up to you.
