Mexican Fiesta Dip
How could you NOT love the appetizer recipe, Mexican Fiesta Dip? Smothered with cheese and that rich taste, this layered dip is so popular at parties and potlucks.

This dip is hearty and comforting, with all the Mexican-flavoured fixings. It’s kind of like a whole meal on it’s own. In fact, sometimes I want to make this for dinner and nothing else. Well, Maybe some Homemade Queso Dip too.
Smothered with cheese, that Mexican taste is so popular with guests. This is one dip that I love to snack on, you just about can’t stop.
Serve it alone, or combine with other amazing appetizer recipes for your family or when entertaining {game night, maybe?}. Best served with nacho chips for dipping, or you can spread this cheesy goodness on crispy baguettes – YUM!!
When choosing a dip to bring to a party, this Mexican Dip Recipe one is my ‘safe bet’.
I’ve found that most people truly love the combination of ingredients, slathered on chips, crackers or bread.
How do you make Mexican Dip?
This cream cheese Mexican dip recipe is just 4 ingredients, which is fewer than many layered dip recipes. It’s just an impressive dip that packs a punch in flavour and ease!
You simply layer cream cheese in a baking dish, add chili, and a layer of salsa. Smother it in cheese and bake. Voila! Compared to many dip recipes, this one is so very simple but mouthwateringly good!
This is best served hot and fresh from the oven, and getting that first bite of bubbling cheese on top is the best. Yet, I have to admit, once cooled this dip is just as good. So very delicious!
A couple of months ago I bought a Mexican layered dip from the store, and ended up throwing it out. Once you’re spoiled with this recipe, others just won’t be the same.
I almost can’t wait for a party as an excuse to make this, as I crave the ingredients so much. Who says a hearty dip can’t be a meal in itself? We need to work on changing that I think.
Psst, this dip recipe gets massive points for ‘easy’, which is always welcome with me.
Be prepared to hand out the recipe though, it’s one party appetizer recipe that everyone asks for! 😉
Also try this Warm Mushroom Dip if you like an appetizer dip recipe that isn’t too spicy.
Another great cheese dip recipe is this Creamy Cheddar Bacon Dip!

I am SOOOOO happy I found this recipe seriously. For my girls Christmas next weekend we are each bringing an app so I was going to make up a nacho dip but this is the primo of nacho dips! nacho dip seems to be just plain and boring…so tradition. This takes it to a whole other level !

Wow this dip looks too good, must be calorie loaded..lol. I know I’m going to have to make it one of these weekends when we have our family movie night.
I have been craving Mexican for days now thanks so much and it is something everyone will enjoy
I’m not really into using tins in my cooking so I would make my chili from scratch but it is certainly a new idea for a dip
Looks like serious comfort food. Give me a bag of tortilla chips and I’d be set!
This is a different type of dip than I usually serve. I will definitely try this at the next party!
This looks amazing !
This recipe is pretty simple; going to try it this weekend. Thanks.
Mexican Fiesa? It’s misspelled.

There is nothing mexican about this but the salsa… Still sounds good though.
This looks great! I want some right now.
We made your recipe for our Superbowl party this past weekend and let me tell you we should have tripled the recipe. Everyone loved it and even wanted your recipe..thanks for posting this!
When I first posted recipe on twitter, one of my followers made it and her family loved it. I can’t wait till we move and I actually have people to cook for!

I have a recipe for a similar Fiesta Dip. Some of the ingredients are the same but I don’t use chili in mine. I use Picante Sauce for one difference.
This looks super yummy and super easy to make. Perfect snack for a chilly evening at home for movie night.
This sounds delicious. Would be perfect for a super bowl party!

Thanks for putting that handy ‘print’ option with this recipe. I just bought what I need to make this and if I can wait, I’ll make it for New Year’s Eve.
This looks and sounds delicious. My husband will love it. Thanks for sharing.
I really wish that as of tomorrow I wasn’t “back on the wagon”. This sounds a perfect comfort food for the winter.
I read your recipe to my husband (who’s Hispanic) and he told me to tell you that it sounds delicious. I have to agree. But would I be crazy to say that you recipe made me think of lasagna?! I think it’s the fact that you put things down in a layer and bake them. 🙂
That makes me want a bag of Fritos to dip in there! stumbled!
Good idea Scarlet! Thanks for stumbling!
love this recipe, will try over the weekend
It’s sooo good! 🙂
