Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, 2% Milk (low-fat version)
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned, low-sodium)
- 0.5 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the Velveeta 2% Milk low-fat cheese into small cubes for easier melting.
Step 2
Drain about half of the liquid from the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cheese cubes and the diced tomatoes with chilies (including the reserved liquid). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the cheese has mostly melted (about 5-7 minutes), reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Mix well until smooth and incorporated.
Step 5
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Continue to heat the dip for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm with your favorite low-fat dippers like sliced vegetables, baked tortilla chips, or pretzels.
