A delicious and creamy dip with a southwestern flair, perfect for gatherings or as a snack.
Place the softened cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
Softening the cream cheese ensures it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
Add the shredded chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, and hot sauce to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Top the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese and cover the bowl.
Covering the bowl helps the cheese melt evenly.
Microwave the bowl for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the dip halfway through to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Stir the dip to combine the melted cheese and serve warm with tortilla chips.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
