Always gets compliments.
My daughter makes hers different…she leaves out the Miracle Whip or sour cream, adds finely chopped fresh jalapeno and ALWAYS uses fresh lime, does not use salsa. (Hate to admit it…but hers is much better!!)
Serve with chips.

  • picante sauce
  • Miracle Whip or sour cream

Arrange on a platter with a bowl of picante sauce in the center for extra dipping.
Everyone loves these and they are so easy!
I did not list the amounts because it will depend upon how much you want to make. I usually start with 3 blocks cream cheese adding picante sauce until it tastes right and is a good spreading consistency.

You might need to buy:
  • soft flour tortillas
  • picante sauce
  • Tabasco sauce
  • cream cheese

You can make this and serve in frosted mugs with a long handled ice tea spoon or in a large chilled bowl with “Tostitos Scoops” on the side for appetizer size servings.
Be careful in adding the jalapeno, Tabasco’s and Cajun sauces and spices as it is pretty hot…you might want to just add half the amount called for and then adjust to your personal preference.
My original recipe also called for adding Tequila…since I serve this and children might eat it, I don’t add the tequila.

These are really good and add a little something different to your appetizer table or Mexican buffet. They can be used as a light dessert if desired, arranging a few chips and a dollop of dip on a small plate.
I have a convection oven so I can do several cookie sheets at a time. Allow the chips to cool on the cookie sheet and when cool place in zip lock bags.
These can be made a day or two ahead.
