This strikingly orange appetizer has the perfect amount of spice and crunch. Sprinkle cilantro on top for a nice accent. —Laurel Leslie, Sonora, California

Delicious! I used regular butter and cream cheese. Also, I don't have a food processor, so I softened the cream cheese and butter and used my hand mixer to beat before adding spices, cheddar and green chilies. I served this with blue tortilla chips for our appetizer for Mother's Day dinner.
What is reduced-fat butter? It can't be real butter.... and I wouldn't consume made-in-a-lab-margarine. Don't poison your family.
This is my nephews favorite and I'm required to make it at any gathering (sometimes i get a phone call from him because he just has a craving). I alter it a little, 1/4t onion powder, 3/4t garlic granuals and 6ozs green chilies. This recipe is definately a "10" in our family!
Hi made this and loved it but i am not a fan of the chips so i rolled it in very crispy baconboth ways are greatthanks
I made this for a picnic and now I am asked to bring to every event I go to.
