Directions for Preparing La Mesa Dip
Cook the Protein
If using ground beef or chorizo, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. If using beans, drain and rinse them.
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cooked meat or beans, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Combine and Heat
Stir the mixture until well combined. Transfer to an oven-safe dish.
Bake the Dip
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dip for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
