Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Black olives
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 Large flour tortillas
- 3 drops each Food coloring (red, green, blue)
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for the tortilla chips.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto a large serving platter or shallow bowl.
Top the cream cheese layer with salsa and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa layer. Set aside.
Slice the black olives into rings, cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and dice the cucumber to resemble 'body parts' (like 'eyeballs,' 'bloody chunks,' and 'maggot-like cubes'). Arrange them on top of the cheddar cheese layer in a spooky design.
Cut the flour tortillas into creepy shapes such as bones, fingers, or ghosts using kitchen scissors or cookie cutters.
Brush the tortilla shapes with vegetable oil and use food coloring to add eerie details, such as red streaks for blood or green spots for mold.
Arrange the tortilla shapes on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Let the tortilla chips cool slightly, then serve them alongside your spooky Creepy Body Bits Dip.
