Mexican Cheese Ball image

There are so many cheese ball recipes and so many Mexican dip recipes, but I'd never seen a Mexican cheese ball, so I had to try it. DEEEElish! It's great served with tortilla chips or those extra big Scoops corn chips.

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 large cheeseball

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup taco seasoning
1/4 cup picante sauce (I like Pace.)

Steps:

  • NOTE: Toasting the pecans is reflected in the PREP time.
  • Toast the pecans at 275 degrees for 20-30 min - do not burn. Stir together nuts with butter and salt and set aside to cool.
  • In a food processor, blend remaining ingredients until thoroughly combined. Shape into a ball and roll in the cooled pecans.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve with the tortilla or corn chips.
