Smoky Jalapeno & Tomato Cream Cheese Dip Recipe {Blendtec Giveaway}

Update: The winner of the Blendtec blender is #544, Dana who said: “I subscribed to your RSS feed! *crossing my fingers!*” Well, crossing your fingers worked. Congratulations, Dana! I will be emailing you with the details.

What else does one do on a hot and humid summer’s day but hunker down for a cut throat game of Dino-opoly? Yes, you read that correctly. No more Park Place or Marvin Avenue. Nope, my kids were buying up Giganotosaurus, Sauroposeidon and Triceratops at a rate that would make any paleontologist drop his pickax in awe. Dodging the “Nearly Extinct” square (that’s “Jail” to us old foagies) is enough to make any young gamer or spectator hungry. That’s when I pulled out my blender and whipped up this jalapeno and tomato cream cheese dip in about 10 minutes flat. Okay, maybe large, sauce-drenched ribs would have been more appropriate for my little Dino-opolists, but I was looking for something quick and easy.

This dip isn’t thick, so make sure you serve it with large tortilla chips. Raw veggies would work well, too. Actually, I will make a full confession. I used a spoon to scoop the dregs straight into my mouth. It was that good.

My Blendtec blender made short work of this dip. Be sure to scroll down to find out more about the blender and how to enter to win one.

Remember to share your kabob recipes in our Get Grillin’ event this week.

The recipe:

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add jalapenos and garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In the pitcher of a blender, add jalapeno mixture, cream cheese, tomato, red bell pepper, smoked paprika and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with additional salt, if necessary.

Serve with tortilla cheese or raw vegetables.

The giveaway:

You are going to love this Blendtec blender giveaway. Over the years, I have gone through several blenders, either becoming frustrated with the small jar capacity or inadequate ice blending, or burning out the motor with ingredients that should not over-tax a good blender. I am afraid you will think I am over-exaggerating slightly when I tell you that I have found the blender of my dreams. Well, okay…I didn’t actually dream about blenders, but let me tell you that this blender is everything a busy kitchen needs. Not only does the Blendtec shred ice like nobody’s business (hallelujah!), but it has these brilliant preset buttons that mixes dip, smoothies, sauces, batters, soup (shall I go on?) to the perfect consistency. You simply press the button and the Blendtec does all the work, turning off at the end of the cycle. I am highly entertained by this.

For a chance to win a Blendtec Total FourSide Blender (value $484.95) plus an additional WildSide jar (that means two jars total), leave a comment on this post and let me know your favorite way to use your blender.

It’s okay to leave a comment for each of these things if you already do them. For example, if you already follow me on Twitter, just leave a comment to let me know. That will be counted as an entry.

This giveaway will run from July 6 – 15, 2011. It is open to residents of the United States. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator, such as random.org.

Note: Blendtec is providing a factory reconditioned blender for the giveaway, which is what I use in my kitchen, and it works beautifully.

We use our blender all the time to chop up veggies such as spinach to go pizza or in pasta sauce and meatballs. We also use it for smoothies and green drinks on a regular basis.

2 Debra July 6, 2011 at 5:47 am

I want! And that dip looks delicious! I’m bookmarking this page to come back to later when I have an occasion to make it.

My favorite way to use my blender? Sadly, I don’t know because I haven’t got one. I do have a food processor though, and it frequently gets used to slice potatoes to make scalloped potatoes, and to pulverize cookies for cheesecake crusts.

Does that count?

3 Jeffrey milton July 7, 2011 at 10:34 pm: I completed every step to increase my chances of winning. I have no blender and would love to win the greatest blender on the planet.

My favorite blender concoction is a mudslide. But the way I use my blender the most is for smoothies, which I make 2 to 3 times a week. If Kahlua had more protein in it, a post-run mudslide would definitely be the way to go.

20 Carol July 6, 2011 at 6:51 am

I have two ways that I like to use my blender. During the summer I love to make frozen margaritas or other frozen concoctions. In the winter, I use my blender to make the chile paste for my homemade chili.

I would love to make with my blender healthy wholesome snacks for my 3 small growing boys (4 1/2yr old and twins 2 1/2). It gets crazy in the house most of the time and my twins eat, eat, and eat some more. A nice healthy smoothie or ice cream or even a yummy soup might help keep them full longer!

My parents have had one of these blenders for a few years, and every time I get the chance to use it I am jealous all over again! My girlies and I LOVE to make smoothies for breakfast during the summer but we keep burning out blenders (just like you mentioned in your post) because they just can’t handle all that frozen fruit and ice. We would LOVE a blender that can handle our homemade jam, smoothies, and cottage cheese pancakes!

My favorite use for my blender is making fruit smoothies. They are ALL fruit, nothing else. Banana, some fresh or jarred (no added sugar) fruit of your choice, then assorted frozen berries (in lieu of ice — don’t need it to water it down when you use frozen berries). Nothing else, just blend it up & enjoy!

I’ve been drooling over these appliances for about a year now, does that matter?
Your dish looks so smooth and delicious. I am right now jumping up and down having a temper tantrum that I don’t own a Wildside blender. Stuff like that happens when you never grow up.

My current blender gets the most use for green smoothies. How I would love to have a more powerful one to get the texture better. But I have some jalapenos I need to use up so this dip is just the thing!

Wow! What a cool giveaway girl! I love this recipe for the smoky jalapeno tomato cream cheese dip. Sounds like a fabulous addition to my upcoming party this weekend!

I don’t have one! I lust after my girlfriends blendtec. I somehow manage to get over there several times a week, at lunch time no less , for a smoothie. My favorite is made with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a banana, a handful of spinach, a cut up pear , ice and a splenda. Perfect lunch on a hot summer day.
I like Blendtec on facebook too!!

Favorite ways is healthy smoothies for us & for my 84yr old grandfather that I take care of.
Also dips & other dinner stuff.
but smoothies by far my favorite Also mixing my own flavors for desserts.
When your taking care of your 84yr old grandfather and providing him fast & healthy beverages to keep his energy up Blenders get used alot.
I average a few blenders a year. Scared to spend a few hundred on a blender due to bad luck I have had in the past. but a change to win 1 so we could keep him healthy thats worth a shot.

good luck to everyone.

312 David & Dessa July 6, 2011 at 6:14 pm

336 Lisa | Life in Green July 7, 2011 at 8:07 am

That dip looks soo good!

I love to use the blender for orange julius!

337 Mike July 7, 2011 at 8:32 am

The best thing that comes out of my blender is fresh pasta sauce with tomatoes, basil & garlic.

Mine gets used mostly for smoothies… But it’s wimpy and when I put ice into it the plastic on the bottom starts to burn and melt!

352 Tracy July 7, 2011 at 10:52 am

This dip sounds wonderful! Perfect for dipping tortilla chips, yum!

353 Lauren July 7, 2011 at 11:26 am

That dip looks soooo tasty! I’d probably substitute with a less spicy pepper if I could find something.

Even before I got into cooking, I was known as the smoothie maker of the family! I love making smoothies with some combination of fruit, yogurt, juice or milk (or almondmilk), and sometimes even ice cream or frozen yogurt. Lately I’ve started making hummus in my blender too, but it is really old and requires constantly stopping to scrape down the sides and stir the mixture around. Thanks for the giveaway!

Most recently I used our sorry excuse for a blender to make hollandaise. Generally I use it to make smoothies, at least, I do when I don’t mind eating a bunch of un-crushed ice.

I use a blender to make my own non wheat flour. Of course it gets all packed down so I have to use one of those little high speed jobs and would really like to have one of these blenders. My mom had a vitamix and my sister has one but I would prefer to own a Blendtec blender based on what I have learned from their website.

My favorite blender recipe is Baba ghanoush, baba ganush, baba ghannouj or baba ghannoug. No matter what well you spell it, it is good! Just remember to get that eggplant nice and charred first. The more smokey the flavor the better!

1 eggplant
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or more, to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

First roast the eggplant via your favorite method (in 400 deg over / right on the gas burner / in a smoker / on a grill / etc). Place eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in an blendtec blender, and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium size mixing bowl, and slowly mix in olive oil. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving. Serve with warm pita bread.

(some people say you can substitute peanut better if you don’t have tahini, but I wouldn’t. If you can’t find it at the store, you should have no problem making it from sesame seeds in a blendtec blender)

If I had a blender as fun to use as a blendtec I would make this every day.

605 Rachel J July 15, 2011 at 4:07 pm

I love using my {cheap} blender to make smoothies, but if I had a Blendtec, I would make so much more in it and use it more often. I love how it can puree soups.

I am “liking” a chance to win a real blender so I can make some real tasty dishes for the family. I’d love a real machine.

I make smoothie the most in my blender. I’d love a blentec though. Then I’d make soup and ice cream too.

8oz. soy milk 8oz. orange juice, one banana, and 3 table spoons of flax meal= great health and a start to a great day. The Flax meal has lots of omega 3′s, Fiber, Vitamin B, and More. The orange juice as we all know is high in Vitamin C. Soy milk has the omega 6′s to complement the omega 3′s. Banana has great benefits as well, Potassium, FOS (for calcium absorption, Vitamin B6, Helps digestion, and lowers risk of cancer. My blender is at least 20yrs old and I am due for a new one like the Blendtec that would help me discover more ways to better health and maybe some great drinks to that good heath!!!

HI Dara,
I use my blender to make a refreshing spinach drink and fresh fruit smoothies. I have also made different soup receipes using fresh vegetables.

734 darryl July 15, 2011 at 11:13 pm

I have always wanted to try a blendtec for green smoothies, soups and ice cream. Hoping I am lucky!!

735 Barbara July 15, 2011 at 11:19 pm

I have to say I made this today and it was not spicy. I used a whole jalepeno and would use 2-3 next time I make this. We had to add a bunch of Franks hot sauce to get a kick and then it was fantastic. We used it on our burgers we grilled and we dipped carrots and celery.

736 Dara (Cookin' Canuck) July 16, 2011 at 8:18 am: Barbara, this definitely just gives the flavor of the jalapenos, rather than the heat. If others want more heat, definitely leave in the seeds and membranes and, as Barbara suggested, using more jalapenos (or hot sauce).

I love my k-tec blender!!! Mine is part of my bread mixer. I would LOVE to have the blender alone. I use it every day to make green smoothies just in case I don’t have anything else green that day! 2 T. Nano Greens, 1 banana, crushed ice to desired texture, 1 c. spinach, 2 cups pineapple, orange, guava juice. YUM!

738 Peggy July 16, 2011 at 6:03 pm

I would use my blender mostly for smoothies … if I had one.

740 Carolyn July 18, 2011 at 5:19 am

Favourite way to use a blender??? Smoothies, of course. We have them every weekend, if not more frequently. Our current blender sees a lot of use, we could always use another!
