Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Low Sodium Velveeta Cheese
- 10 oz Diced tomatoes, no salt added (canned)
- 4 oz Green chilies, no salt added (canned)
- 0.5 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Cumin powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Dice the Low Sodium Velveeta Cheese into small cubes and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the no-salt-added diced tomatoes and green chilies, allowing them to cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Add the cumin powder, paprika, and ground black pepper, mixing well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low sodium chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer gently for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the cubed Low Sodium Velveeta Cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but note that additional salt is not recommended to keep the dip low sodium.
Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or whole-grain crackers. For reheating, use low heat and stir frequently to maintain the creamy texture.
