A creamy, no-bake Southwest-style dip molded in a Bundt pan with a crunchy Frito and corn nut topping, finished with a salsa-filled center. Perfect for parties and potlucks.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 10–12 servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
  • 1½ cups Fritos, crushed
  • 1 cup corn nuts, crushed
  • 1½ cups chunky salsa

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add shredded pepper jack cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, and 1½ tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the crushed Fritos, crushed corn nuts, and remaining ½ tablespoon taco seasoning.
  4. Lightly grease a Bundt pan. Sprinkle the Frito-corn nut mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  5. Spoon the dip mixture over the topping, pressing it down gently and smoothing the top.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  7. When ready to serve, invert the dip onto a platter and fill the center with chunky salsa. Serve with chips or veggies.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or use spicy taco seasoning.
  • Let the dip sit at room temperature for a few minutes before inverting to make it easier to release.
  • Great to make a day ahead—firms up beautifully overnight.
