Easy Spicy Espinaca Dip is made with freshly shredded Pepper Jack cheese, diced tomatoes and chilies, and fresh baby spinach. Ready in just 20 minutes! Perfect for #tacotuesday or weekend football game day snacking.

Think of this homemade Easy Spicy Espinaca Dip as a healthier version of your standard queso dip…okay, that’s actually not even remotely true; however, it does have fresh spinach in it and tomatoes so it’s got that going for it

For what it lacks in the healthy department, it makes up for with taste. The combination of Pepper Jack and cream cheese is the perfect balance between taste and creaminess and the contrast of the vegetables make it more complex than a run-of-the-mill white queso dip.

Obviously I’m posting this easy spicy espinaca dip as a warm-up for Taco Tuesday tonight..

…BUT it’s also a great starter for football tailgating parties or game day eats or really any occasion where people want to eat some braggadocious cheese dip! (I know braggadocious isn’t used corrrectly here but it’s sounds funny and I’ve been dying to use it. heeheeheehee)

I like to serve my easy spicy espinaca dip with some organic blue corn tortilla chips. Other dipping options include yellow tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, toasted baguette rounds, or even serve it with some assorted fresh raw veggies, if we are back on that healthy talk again. Like all cheese dips, this one is best served right before you’re ready to eat it too.

This Easy Spicy Espinaca Dip is the perfect starter to curb any munchies before the main taco meal, to enjoy while watching some weekend football games, or to just snack on any day of the week.
