I haven't tried this receipe yet, but it sounds so good, so I'm putting it here for safe keeping. It's originally from Southern Living. Note, I've estimated the prep time, and the cooking time is the chill time. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
2 (8 ounce) blocks monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded |
16 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, shredded |
6 green onions, minced |
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, drained |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix |
1/4 cup hot jalapeno jelly |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
2 large mangoes, peeled and diced |
2 large avocados, diced |
1 large red bell pepper, diced |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 2 equal portions; shape each into a 6-inch round. Cover and chill 8 hours, or freeze up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator 8 hours.
2. Whisk together jelly and lime juice in a large bowl.
3. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until blended. Cover and chill 8 hours.
4. Place cheese rounds on serving plates; top evenly with Avocado-Mango Salsa; serve with tortilla chips.
5. Note: Smoked Cheddar cheese may be found in the deli section of your grocery store.
