How to Make Awesome Party Nacho Dip

  1. Combine 16 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 (10-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chiles (undrained), and 1/2 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce in a large, microwave-safe bowl or a medium saucepan.
  2. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stir well, then microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth (approximately 3-5 minutes total). Alternatively, cook on medium heat on the stovetop, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  3. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and prevent scorching.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
