A hot, easy-to-make dip that always draws requests for the recipe. Any flavors of diced tomatoes with green chilies can be used to vary the flavor and spiciness. I usually use one Milder and one Mexican so everyone can enjoy.

DELICIOUS BAKED MEXICAN SPINACH FIESTA DIP



Delicious Baked Mexican Spinach Fiesta Dip image

We love this warm, creamy, cheesy dip year round. Always the first to go at our football parties. You can adjust the level of heat by adjusting the amount of jalapeno you use. We're fine at 2 tablespoons. But, if you're daring and like it devilishly hot, you may go up to 4 tablespoons, but have some Margaritas ready!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the excess water before using.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. The higher the fat content, the creamier the dip will be.
  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still have some bite to it.
  • Season the dip to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or vegetables.
