Ingredients
  

  • 5 ounces frozen spinach thawed and drained
  • 16 ounces Velveeta queso blanco cut into large cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared pico de gallo
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Start by thawing the frozen spinach. Once thawed, thoroughly drain the spinach to remove excess moisture.

  3. Once the cheese is melted, gently fold in the prepared spinach until evenly distributed.
  4. Add the prepared pico de gallo and Parmesan cheese to the saucepan. Stir until everything is combined and heated through.
  5. Sprinkle in the cayenne pepper and stir to incorporate evenly.
  6. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and it’s ready to be enjoyed!

Notes
