A festive cheese ball bursting with spicy taco flavors.
At Christmas I serve friends and family Nannie's Cheese Logs in gift trays, and this spin off on my family's Cheese Log recipe was at the top of the list. It's fire hot and it's right up a man's alley for tailgating and parties. Best served with tortilla chips. Can store nicely for a week before serving.

- ¾ cup dried parsley
- 4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 (1.25 ounce) package hot taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick®)
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped
Directions
- Step 1:Sprinkle parsley in a shallow baking dish. Set aside.
- Step 2:Mix Mexican cheese blend, cream cheese, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, and jalapeno peppers in a large bowl until well blended. Divide the mixture into 3 portions, and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball in the parsley until completely covered. Wrap individually with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
