Ingredients

  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 cup light cream cheese
  • 0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning (more to taste)
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper (more to taste)
  • 12 cup chunky salsa (about 1/2 a jar, medium)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded (more to taste)

Method

  • Mix sour cream and cream cheese together well.
  • The "whip" setting on a mixer or a "3"-ish on a hand mixer works well.
  • Add in taco seasoning and cayenne pepper and mix (whip) well.
  • Adjust the amount of seasoning to taste.
  • I like it pretty spicy.
  • Add in salsa and shredded cheddar and mix well.
  • I like to mix it in with a spatula so it won't shred up the cheese too much or mush up the chunky salsa.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and chill WELL.
  • This is a kind of dip you want to make at least an hour or so before you enjoy it, so the flavors have a chance to meld.
  • It also thickens as it chills, so don't worry about it being runny at first!
  • Serve with chips; I'd recommend Nacho Cheese Doritos (they're my favorite!).
  • ENJOY!
