Directions

  1. With a mixer, blend 16 ounces room-temperature cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar, 3 tablespoons minced onion, 2 tablespoons salsa, 2 teaspoons ground cumin and 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno. Scoop onto plastic wrap and use the wrap to form the mixture into a 5-inch pumpkin-shaped ball; chill at least 2 hours. To serve, unwrap, roll in crushed nacho-flavored tortilla chips and press a bell pepper stem into the top.

Made this for an office potluck, it was a hit! The only thing I did differently was after I wrapped the ball, I put some rubber bands around it so it would set with indentations like a pumpkin. It turned out really well. You could also use a butter knife after you roll it in Doritos to make the "lines" more pronounced.
