Ingredients

  • 8 ounce - cream cheese
  • 1 cup - chunky salsa
  • 2 teaspoon - taco seasoning
  • 1 cup - sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup - pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chunky salsa, and taco seasoning either with a spatula or a hand mixer. Mix until smooth and evenly combined. The mixture should be creamy but still have texture from the salsa.
  2. Spread the mixture into an even layer in a shallow glass pie dish (or an 8x8 inch baking dish).
  3. Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar evenly over the top. Top with sliced pickled jalapeños.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together. Serve with tortilla chips, carrots, celery, or bell pepper.
