A delicious and easy-to-make cheese dip with a Tex-Mex twist, perfect for gatherings or a cozy snack night.
In a saucepan, melt the cheese over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Use low heat to ensure the cheese melts evenly without scorching.
Blend the diced tomatoes with green chilies in a blender until smooth.
For a chunkier dip, pulse the blender a few times instead of blending until smooth.
Mix the blended tomato mixture into the melted cheese.
Stir thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
Add the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and chopped onion to the cheese mixture, stirring well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preferred flavor.
If the dip is too thick, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add liquid gradually to avoid making the dip too runny.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips.
Keep the dip warm using a slow cooker or warming tray for longer gatherings.
