Mexican Cream Cheese Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine salsa, spinach, cream cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, and Mexican seasoning in a large bowl. Spread into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cheese until smooth and creamy with an electric mixer.
• Next, add the chilli sauce, garlic, lime juice, fresh chilli and green onion, and beat again until combined.
• Spread a sheet of plastic wrap on your kitchen work surface, place cream cheese mixture on it, and shape into a 3 to 4 inch square.
• Enclose the shaped cheese in the plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour (and up to a maximum of 24 hours).
• While cheese is chilling, cut each tortilla into 12 wedges.
• Shallow fry the wedges in hot vegetable oil until puffed and lightly browned.
• When cool, these can be stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before serving.
• When ready to serve, roll cheese in combined parsley (or cilantro) and nuts.
• Place cheese, fresh salsa and tortilla crisps in serving dishes and enjoy.

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, mix in the taco sauce and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, cream cheese and taco seasoning mix. Spread the mixture into a medium serving dish.
• Layer the sour cream mixture with beef mixture, Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Top with tomato, green onions and black olives.
