I’ve had this recipe for more than 42 years and have updated it from time to time. This is an easy party favorite, and everyone loves the taquito dippers. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Test Kitchen tips
  • When we tested this recipe, it tasted too salty. That’s why we switched to reduced-fat, reduced-sodium soup, not because we were trying (unsuccessfully) to make it healthy.
  • Taquitos are super-fun dippers, but classic corn chips taste great, too. They’re perfect for scooping up the chunky dip.
  • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

    • 1 garlic clove, minced
