Ingredients
450 g Mexican-style processed cheese (e.g. Velveeta® Mexican)
1 can (280 g) diced tomatoes and green chilies (e.g. RO-TEL® Original), with juice
5 ml taco seasoning, or to taste
1 ml cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
80-120 ml chopped cilantro
1/2 lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the Velveeta® Mexican into 1-inch cubes and place in a 1.5 L microwave-safe dish. Microwave at 50% power for about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the RO-TEL® with juice and microwave for an additional 3 to 5 minutes at 50% power. Stir until well blended.
Step 3
Add the taco seasoning and cayenne, and microwave at 50% power until the Velveeta is fully melted and the ingredients are evenly distributed, about 1 minute more.
Step 4
Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the green parts of the green onions for garnish. Stir in the remaining green onions, cilantro, and lime juice; microwave for about 1 minute more at 50% power. The dip will be thick; if you prefer it thinner, stir in milk or water, 15 ml at a time, to thin.
Step 5
Garnish with the reserved green onion tops and additional cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve warm.
