    Recipe Introduction


    Points 1 for ¼ cup, makes 3 ½ cups

    List of Ingredients




    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (I use Mexican rotel)
    1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    6 ounces light processed cheese, cubed (such as Velveeta Light)
    Cilantro sprigs (optional)

    Recipe



    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Cooking Time: 15 minutes
    Drain tomatoes and tomatoes with chiles in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/3 cup liquid; set tomatoes and reserved liquid aside.
    Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 4 minutes. Add cream cheese; cook until cheese melts, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes, reserved liquid, and chili powder; bring to a boil. Add processed cheese; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes or until cheese melts, stirring constantly. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve warm with baked tortilla chips.

    This needed a little more kick to me, so I’d add some diced jalapenos to it.
