My husband may be a hazel-eyed blonde but somewhere in his DNA is a passion for all things Mexican food related.
The hotter the better is his motto.
As in hot sauce.
And salsa.
And hot peppers.
Blender brews that chase the rest of us out of the kitchen with tears in our eyes.
He researches peppers and grows the hottest he can find, with the ghost pepper his latest treasure.
Me? Even though I have the dark hair and brown eyes, I can only handle a bit of hot and spicy with my Mexican food.
This is our favorite Mexican taco dip recipe because it’s so easy to spice up.
Or not. Your preference.
It’s a great dish to serve while having friends and family over just to hang out and relax. I always double the recipe because I know if there’s any left my husband won’t complain about leftovers!
I also like to take it to church dinners or anywhere an easy dish is needed.
I’d love to know if you’re a mild or spicy fan. Is there such a thing as too hot?

I sometimes leave out the onion and pepper but that's up to you!
If you want it spicier you can also add a layer of salsa before cooking.
We love cheese so I just sprinkle as much as I need to thoroughly cover the top.
