ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Ground turkey reduces fat while beans provide protein at a lower cost.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

Rotel tomatoes

🥗Healthier: diced tomatoes with green chilies

💰Cheaper: canned diced tomatoes

Diced tomatoes provide similar flavor without added cost.

In a pot over medium heat, add olive oil.

Add 1 lb of ground turkey or ground beef and break up the meat.

Add seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and ground cumin to the meat.

Cook the ground turkey until it has browned and is completely cooked through.

As the meat cooks, add more chili powder and some creole seasoning.

Once browned, add 1/2 diced red onion and 1 diced jalapeno to the pot.

Cook the onions and jalapenos with the ground turkey for around 3 minutes.

Mix in 1 can of Rotel tomatoes.

Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 16 oz of Vita cheese, 6 oz of pepper jack cheese, and 8 oz of cream cheese.

Mix everything together until the cheese has completely melted and everything is well combined.

Turn off the heat and add 1 tbsp of freshly chopped cilantro.

Plate the dip and serve with Doritos.
