Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chopped jalapeños (freshly chopped for best flavor)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature for easier mixing)
- 1/4 cup mild salsa
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients: Begin by adding softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Add the salsa and finely chopped jalapeño into the bowl. These ingredients will provide a vibrant mix of flavors to the cream cheese base.
- Mix and Incorporate: Using the back of a metal spoon, begin mixing the ingredients by spreading the cream cheese and folding the salsa and jalapeño into it. Continue this process until the ingredients are evenly mixed together. Once the mixture is uniformly combined, give it a few vigorous stirs to ensure everything is well incorporated and smooth.
- Chill and Serve: For an optional step, chill the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and firm up the texture slightly, making it perfect for spreading or dipping. Serve your flavorful cream cheese dip as desired and enjoy!
