Ingredients
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup mild salsa or medium picante sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped jalapenos
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 helps the flavors meld and can improve the texture, but you can also serve it immediately if desired.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level.
- This spread pairs well with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.
- For a creamier texture, let the cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you want less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping.
