- Measuring cups
- knife
- chopping board
Ingredients
- 2 limes juiced
- 02 jalapenos Remove the seeds
- 16 ounces of American cheese similar to Velveeta
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 whole yellow onion
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- 20 ounces of canned tomatoes with green chilis
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt
- 8 ounces of cream cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp of cumin
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat canned tomatoes and green chilis over medium heat.
- When hot, stir in cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
- Add American cheese, onions, garlic, jalapenos, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir until everything melds and the cheese melts.
- Continue stirring until the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve hot with chips or desired accompaniments.
- Step 6 For a chunkier texture, add diced Roma tomatoes and cilantro just before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the dip with an immersion blender or food processor after all the ingredients have been cooked and combined.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a unique twist on this classic dip.
- If you can't find canned tomatoes with green chilis, simply add a can of diced tomatoes and a separate small can of diced green chilis.
- Adjust the amount of jalapenos and spices to your desired level of heat. Keep in mind that the flavors will develop more as the dip sits, so start with less and add more if needed.
