Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup mild salsa or medium picante sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: Begin by adding the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Then add the mild salsa or medium picante sauce along with the finely chopped jalapeños. This combination creates the base of the dip, blending creamy, tangy, and spicy flavors.
  2. Mix and Incorporate: Using the back of a metal spoon, spread and fold the salsa and chopped jalapeños into the cream cheese. Continue mixing until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Stir vigorously to achieve a smooth and uniform consistency.
  3. Chill and Serve: For best results, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld together and firms up the texture, making the dip perfect for spreading or dipping. Serve chilled and enjoy with crackers, veggies, or chips.

Notes

  • Use mild salsa if you prefer less heat; medium picante sauce adds more spice.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Chilling enhances flavor melding but is optional if short on time.
  • For an extra kick, add more jalapeños or include some jalapeño juice.
  • This dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
