This is an awesome dip! I've made it a few times and there is never any left. I serve it with hot pretzels and tortilla chips. Definitely give it a try, it will not disappoint. Plus it is super easy!

This is great. Can't stop eating it.

These get bad reviews when people give a review and don't click on the stars or hit yes or no for if they will make again. Read the instructions people.

I THOUGHT HTIS RECIPE WAS GREAT. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT GOT SUCH A BAD RATING. I COULDN'T STO EATING IT. I MADE IT FOR COWORKERS AND THEY ALL WANTED THE RECIPE. I DID ADJUST THE CHILI POWDER AND CILANTRO TO MY TASTE.
