I made this today, after watching the episode featuring this recipe. A home run! I gave my husband a taste of it before I put in the fridge and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. A sure sign he liked it, no?

I started watching your program in the wee hours of the morning, when I am exercising (who watches food shows when burning calories? Me!!) and I have loved every episode. So informative and you make the recipes seems so easy! The multi-layer crepe cake will be a hit with some friends we have for dinner often. We go to Cozumel every winter and each year, I come back with as many packages of dried chilis & spices as I can cram into my luggage! (There is a noticeable difference btwn the oregano I grow and the Mexican variety!) I live in Canada and although I can get some of the ingredients you use, several are a bit difficult to obtain.

Fantastic show, congratulations on the success you have had and I look forward to more episodes!

This spread was so awesome. I loved it on the BLT and I also added it into my potatoes for potatoes tacos and it was also great…..

Very good and versatile! I used it with pasta, added some of the starchy water and topped with broccoli and grilled chicken. Delish.

Pati! My partner and I are Canadians who spend 6 months a year in the SW States and cannot wait to return to Nevada and Arizona where we can watch your series: just now watched a 2017 episode with this fabulous spread and cannot wait to try it.
Thank you for introducing me to Mexican food – and your fabulous show 🥰

Oh my stars – this is better than I ever expected! Even my husband who is not a very adventurous eater (I’m working on him though ;)) said this was absolutely delicious. I’ve been on a Pati recipe binge in my kitchen and he even said “thank you Pati!” as he scarfed it down. I made the BLT you suggested in ur season 6 episode. I’m glad I doubled the recipe.

I’m so happy to have found you <3 my 3 year old even watches you with me and is always asking questions about ur cooking. I love introducing her to new & different foods and watching her enjoy it all come together. God bless you and ur family!

Hi Pati, My Husband and I Love your recipes. We have so much fun cooking them together. We want to try this spread but, we are not partial to goat cheese. Is there another cheese that you could recommend. Thank you so much.

  Thank you Donna. You can use feta, cream cheese or mascarpone also. Say hi to your husband!

Hi Pati, I recently “discovered” your show and absolutely love it! I can’t wait to try this recipe on your BLT. I was able to find Chipotles in Adobo Sauce easy enough.

However, when it comes to the Sundried Tomatoes in Oil thus far I’ve only found: Sundried Tomatoes in a Plastic bag OR Sundried Tomatoes in Oil with Italian Herbs. I was wondering if you had any suggestions?

  I’m so glad you discovered the show, Heather! You can use the dried ones if you can’t find them in oil. You can re-hydrate them in a bit of warm water, so that they are easier to blend into the spread.

Patient, you are such a joy to watch. I am new to seeing your show on tv. I am going to make the goat cheese spread tonight and try it on a burger. What do you think of that idea? I’m thinking it will be like having a pimento cheese burger in the south.
Best regards. Janet

Pati-
Love your show. I just made this dip and it tasted even better than I thought!! I bought all the fixings for a blt tomorrow, I am definitely looking forward to it. But it tastes great on its own and with yellow and orange bell peppers.

Thanks!!

  Yes, it can be made a few days in advance, and kept tightly sealed in the fridge.

This sounds delicious! I am allergic to walnuts however, would almonds be ok to substitute? Thank you! 🙂

  Absolutely or you can leave the nuts out if you have an allergy.

made this today to bring to a christmas eve gathering. i added a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice–i felt like it was *missing* something. i need it to stand alone with crackers, etc, so i wanted it to have a bit more pizzaz; as a spread on a sandwich, where it’s in the background, it’s perfect as is! thank you! ideal for my family–many “high maintenance” ppl w/dietary restrictions! :/

  I’m so glad you made it your own and added some pizzaz!

I don’t think the recipe above says when to use the chipotle

  Thank you Mike, I added it to the directions! You add it when you add all the other ingredients to the food processor.
