Ingredients
- 2 packages cream cheese, softened 8 oz each
- ¼ cup taco seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons diced jalapenos seeded
- 1 can diced black olives, drained 4 oz
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips or Doritos
- 2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomato halves
- chips and crackers for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with taco seasoning until well blended. Add in jalapenos and black olives.
- Line a 4 cup bowl with plastic wrap. Drop cheese ball into bowl and wrap the plastic around the cheese ball. Refrigerate for at least one hour (more is even better to allow the flavors to mingle).
- When ready to serve, place shredded lettuce and tomatoes on a serving platter. Fill a bowl with the crushed chips. Unwrap cheese ball and drop into bowl, pressing the chips gently onto the ball. Place cheese ball on platter and serve with extra chips and crackers ENJOY.
Notes
- To shape the cheese ball: Line a bowl with plastic cling wrap. Put the cheese mixture in the bowl. Shape it into a ball using the cling wrap.
- Chill for 4 hours for best flavor: The longer the chill time, the better the flavors will mingle. The cheese ball will maintain its shape if you keep it wrapped in plastic the entire time! Remove the plastic wrap just before serving.
- Add more cheese: Go ahead and toss a handful of shredded cheddar or Monterey cheese in the dip before shaping for more cheesy goodness!
- Cover with crushed tortilla chips last: Wait to roll the cheese ball in the chips until just before serving. Otherwise, the chips will get mushy.
- Serving suggestions: Serve this dip with chips, crackers or tortilla wedges for dipping. It’s also delicious with celery sticks, carrots and sliced bell peppers.
