02 - 227 grams onion and chive cream cheese spread, brought to room temp
03 - 227 grams cream cheese, brought to room temp

→ Cheesy Finish

10 - 170 grams bagged Mexican shredded cheese

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Bring it straight to the table or pop it in the fridge til you want to dig in.
02 - Grab a glass dish about 20 x 20 cm, spread the creamy base out, then pile on jalapenos, olives, tomatoes, lettuce, and top with cheese.
03 - Take the bowl from the mixer and work in the taco seasoning blend, salsa, and sour cream with a spatula. Make sure everything gets mixed together nice and even.
04 - Toss the cream cheese and the onion-chive spread into a big bowl. Use a mixer on medium-high to get it light and totally smooth, takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Set your cream cheese out early so it softens all the way. It’ll be easier to blend.
02 - Don’t put it together too far ahead. That way, your lettuce stays crisp and fresh.
03 - Cover and stash leftovers in the fridge, but give it no more than a day.
