Looking for a great dip recipe for crackers or tortilla chips? Mexican cream cheese dip is perfect and so easy to make that virtually anyone can make it; plus, you can adjust the spiciness of this dip recipe by changing the type of salsa you use. Try mild, medium or hot salsa, depending on how spicy you and your guests want the dip to be. You could even use salsa verde to create a unique taste. Make this easy recipe at home for your next party.
Place 8 oz. of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Add one half-cup of salsa to your mixing bowl. Stir in one tablespoon of lemon juice. Lime juice may be substituted.
Using an electric hand mixer, gently blend the cream cheese, salsa and lemon juice until they are well-mixed and creamy.
