You will need:

• 1 container cottage cheese
• 1 container sour cream
• 3/4 – 1 container of spreadable cream cheese, plain
• 1/2 – 1 pkg. nacho or fajita seasoning
• 1/2 – 1 large jar of chunky, salsa (spice level to taste. I prefer mild)
• 1 small bar of marble cheddar cheese, grated
• lettuce, green peppers and other vegetables for topping
• “Scoop” or “Restaurant style” tortilla chips for dipping

What to do:

Using an electric mixer (I use a stand-up Kitchenaid mixer), beat the sour cream, cream cheese, and nacho spice together until smooth and creamy. Be sure not to have any clumps of the cream cheese. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl. A clear dish looks nice to show the different layers.

The next layer over the cream cheese mixture will be the salsa. Pour and evenly distribute on top.

Shred and sprinkle the lettuce (I use iceburg lettuce) over the salsa until it covers most of the redness of the salsa. Next, sprinkle the other topping ingredients like the green peppers.

Finish off the dip with loads of the grated cheese. This is a definite crowd pleaser! Serve chilled with a nice bowl of tortilla chips.
