Cilantro-Chile Dip

The creamy goodness of this dip works well with speced sweet-potato chips or your favorite veggie! We found this recipe in Woman's World magazine.

Ingredients:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) Neufchatel cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1-2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest

Directions:

  • At medium speed, breat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add cilantro, chiles, fajita seasoning, lime juice and lime zest.
  • Beat until fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl

Add this great dip to your football party offerings and you'll be the "talk of the town!"
