INGREDIENTS

  • Cheese

    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
    • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

  • Seasoning

    • ½ (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning

  • Fresh Vegetables

    • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
    • 🧅 4 stalks green onions, roughly chopped
    • 🍅 1 medium Roma tomato, cored and diced
    • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

  • Canned Vegetables

    • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers

  • Miscellaneous

    • 🧅 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion

STEPS

1

Line a 16-ounce bowl with plastic wrap, allowing excess to hang over the sides.

2

Combine cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and taco seasoning in a food processor; process until well combined. Add green onions, ½ of the cilantro leaves, and green chiles and pulse until well combined with flecks of green; do not fully process.

3

Transfer cheese mixture to the lined bowl and press to smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours or overnight.

4

Invert cheese onto a serving platter and remove plastic. Use a small shot glass or spoon to create a hole in the center of the cheese to form a wreath shape.

5

Finely chop remaining cilantro leaves and lightly cover the top of the cheese. Combine tomato, onion, and jalapeno in a small bowl and place over the cilantro in a 1-inch ring around the wreath.
