Loved this! I used a small slow-cooker instead of microwaving the dip. I stirred the salsa into the dip instead of serving it on top. After tasting it, I added some jalapenos (diced up) to some of it to increase the heat a bit. I didn't think of serving sour cream or avocados on the side, but I will with the leftovers! Served with tortilla chips. Everyone enjoyed this dip! Made for Photo Tag!

I wanted a simple but different dip for a bunco party. This was it! Very quick & easy. Served with tortilla chips out of a slow cooker on low. Sour cream & salsa on the side for those who wanted it. Have added to my "favorites". Thanks a bunch!
