Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, 2% Milk (low-fat version)
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned, low-sodium)
- 0.5 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the Velveeta 2% Milk low-fat cheese into small cubes for easier melting.
Drain about half of the liquid from the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cheese cubes and the diced tomatoes with chilies (including the reserved liquid). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the cheese has mostly melted (about 5-7 minutes), reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Mix well until smooth and incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Continue to heat the dip for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm with your favorite low-fat dippers like sliced vegetables, baked tortilla chips, or pretzels.
