Wine Pairing

For this indulgent and flavorful Frito Pie Dip, I recommend pairing it with a medium-bodied Zinfandel, such as the Ridge Vineyards Geyserville. The berry and spice flavors of this wine will beautifully complement the rich and savory notes of the dip.

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream, divided
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 (15-ounce) cans chili (such as Amy’s Kitchen), about 3 cups
• 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 cup)
• 2 cups (4 ounces) lightly crushed corn chip scoops (such as Fritos Scoops), plus more for serving
• 1 small plum tomato, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest (from 1 lime), plus wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and onion powder until blended. Spread this mixture across the bottom of a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, deep-dish pie plate, or 2-quart baking dish.
3. Evenly spread the chili over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
4. Bake the dip for about 30 minutes until the cheese is melted.
5. While the dip bakes, prepare the toppings: Crush the corn chips, chop the tomato, cilantro, and green onion. Grate the lime zest and cut the lime into wedges for serving.
6. Once the dip is ready, top it with the crushed corn chips, chopped tomato, cilantro, green onions, and lime zest. Add dollops of the remaining 2 tablespoons of sour cream on top.
7. Serve the Frito Pie Dip with corn chip scoops and lime wedges on the side.

Enjoy this delicious Frito Pie Dip as an appetizer for a gathering or as a fun and indulgent family dinner. Remember to savor every bite and pair it with a glass of Zinfandel for the ultimate dining experience!
