years ago my girlfriend gave me this recipe and said she got it out of a magazine you can make it as fat free or full of fat as you want by what you add to it its up to you and what your looking for and what your taste is
the entire family loves this, have never found anyone who doesn’t and most of them don’t even realize they are eating healthy until after when i tell them

We make this and eat it as a meal.
Mexican Dip
2 blocks of Light or Fat Free Cream Cheese
2 cans of Hormel Chili (no beans)
1 jar of salsa
1 pkg. of light or fat free shredded cheese (I use Mexican blend or cheddar)
In a 9 x 11 pan, layer the ingredients as listed. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
You can use the baked tortilla chips to cut down on the fat or you can cut corn tortillas into triangles and put them on a cookie sheet. Salt to taste and broil them until crispy.
