If you want a chunky version, then just mix by hand.

For the best flavor, cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator; garnish and serve

If serving warm, transfer to oven safe baking dish, place on middle oven rack @ 325℉ and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the dip is warmed throughout; garnish and serve

Notes

This recipe calls for 2 packets of Taco Seasoning. I recommend you start with one pack; mix it all up and taste it; then add more taco seasoning to your liking.

Rotel tomatoes-this is a brand of stewed tomatoes with green chiles; usually on the canned tomato aisle. If you can't find Rotel, use another brand that has green chiles.

For best results, serve with a firm chip like a tortilla chip, corn chip or a cracker like a Wheat-thin or Triscuit. You can also roll this mixture up into flour tortillas, cut into slices and serve it that way.

Note: the nutritional estimate is for one cup; it is highly unlikely one would consume a cup of dip, but the nutrition calculator I use doesn't estimate ounces.
