We had fun Saturday watching the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports,”
All those poor Kentucky Derby hats getting droopy in the rain!
We chose our picks for win-place-show and put $10 in the pool
Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we noshed on Skinny Cheese Enchilada Dip with fried flour torilla chips
This dip is embarrassing easy to make, but HH went crazy for it, in fact we all did a lot of dipping 😳
Just 3 ingredients, red enchilada sauce, {90 calories} Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, {less than 60 calories} and Velveeta cheese
If you want to add more protein add cooked diced chicken
Velveeta is hard to cut, so just tear it into chunks with your fingers
If you HATE Velveeta, substitute 2% cheddar
You can adjust the amount of tomatoes and chilies used to your personal taste, a little for a mild bite and the whole can for extra spicy
Stir dip once or twice as the cheese melts during baking
I love Velveeta for it’s magic melting quality, and did you know it has half the calories of cheddar?
I pan fried flour tortillas in a drizzle of olive oil and butter and cut them into triangles
They don’t get crispy, but they are sooooo good
Colored sweet pepper strips, zucchini or celery sticks, would be great healthy alternatives to the chips
Individual small bowls are a great way to enjoy this messy dip, everyone can grab a bowl and some dippers
No one picked the winner but we all picked one of the horses in each category, so we called it even and everyone kept their $10, so we were all winners!
