Happy Happy Tuesday y’all! So apparently Cinco de Mayo is on a Saturday this year, THIS Saturday to be more precise, which to me sounds like some of y’all might need some kick butt food to serve with copious amounts of Margaritas and shots of Tequila to your friends and/or family. Today I will be obliging this unrequested request…if that makes sense.
Years ago, my sister introduced me to eating chips and salsa with a side of warmed up cream cheese, which is fantastic. Not only is cream cheese delicious on just about everything, but it really helped in taking out the bite of the sometimes too spicy salsa. Surprisingly, it wasn’t until recently that it occurred to me to just blend the cream cheese and salsa together really nicely to make a super simple but super tasty dip.
After taking the first bite of this not at all attractive dip, I actually found myself being annoyed at myself for having not done this before, and then I was doubly annoyed when with a quick Google search, I found out that I in fact did not invent this wonderfulness.
Oh well, I believe I made this dip enough of my own by my preference of salsa and chip type, or something like that. I do recommend you all give this 2 ingredient wonder dip a try though, it sooo pairs well with your adult beverage of choice, trust me.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
Your 2 ingredients into your bowl, cream cheese & salsa…
all blended together…
and enjoy!!!
- 1 (16 Ounce) Jar of Pace Picante Salsa, Medium Heat.
- 1 (8 Ounce) Block of Cream Cheese, Softened & Cubed.
- With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, place your salsa into your bowl.
- Now place the cut up pieces of the cream cheese into your bowl as well and on low speed combine the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Chill until ready to serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
- You're welcome to use mild or hot salsa depending on your preferences.

I’ve made this dip for years! Just decided one day to try mixing the two together. I was making dips for my young son’s birthday party. He loved it!! In fact, he’s 34 now and HE made some to add as munchies while we finished making our family Easter feast!! It’s always a big hit for anytime people gather!!
