Take-out Tuesday, Skinny Cheese Enchilada Dip
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!

Yummy way to celebrate! I bet the dip didn’t last much longer than the race 🤪
haha, you’re right!
Jenna, my family loves a good dip and this easy one would be sure please at my house! Thanks for sharing and Happy Tuesday!
a dip makes anything a party!
Ha, ha, yep, breaking even is the second best thing to winning! I just kept thinking about how much $ went into those poor rain soaked hats…
Me too!! Plus it wasn’t nearly as much fun watching with everyone under a poncho!
I notice you didn’t add the calories for the Velveeta! Looks so good — and the little bowl idea is brilliant.
Velveeta only has 70 calories per ounce verses full fat cheddar which has 120, so it is a lower calorie choice. Yes we love those bowls, so handy!
Jenna, you know how to have fun!
ha ha, thanks Sharon!
You got me with skinny which is going to have to be my focus now that travels have ended.
So glad you are safely home!
Good grief that looks good! We are having messy fries tonight with pulled pork and lots of toppings! Not too sure there will be anything skinny about it though. LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Messy fries sound really good!! Thanks Cindy!
It’s late here but if this were in front of me I’d have blast with it!
ha ha, it is simple but very tasty!
Well, that’s another one I had to pin! Love a good dip and those fried tortillas looked oh so good! Thanks Jenna. All that rain made such a slippery track, I was so thankful no horse or rider was hurt. ⚘
Yes, me too, and I was disappointed I didn’t get to see many hats and outfits!
I got a kick out of those generated horses names Jenna! I know your dip is a winner 🙂
thanks Mary, we had a lot of fun!
Hi Jenna,
I love that this is a Skinny Cheese Enchilada Dip, we will really enjoy! So glad you could join us on Full Plate Thursday and thanks so much for sharing with us. Hope you have a great week and a very Happy Mothers Day!
Miz Helen
Well I’m one of those that loves the creaminess of Velveeta (nothing compares for some things!). I have never used enchilada sauce with the Rotel, but I’m going to next time! Thank you, Jenna!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!!
I agree, there is no substitute for good old Velveeta. Hope you try the dip, it’s so easy and it will be a regular around here. Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
