Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 0.333 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chiles (drained)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Place the 40 saltine crackers in a large resealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pour the olive oil mixture into the bag with the crackers, seal the bag, and gently toss to coat all the crackers evenly.
Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the crackers halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
While the crackers are baking, make the Fiesta Dip: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, and taco seasoning, mixing until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the drained diced tomatoes with green chiles and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the cooled hot crackers alongside the Fiesta Dip and enjoy!
