225 g Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
0.5 packet taco seasoning

1 piece medium Roma tomato, cored and diced
2 tbsp finely chopped white onion
1 piece medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Preparation (9 steps)

Prepare the bowl

Line a 16-ounce bowl with plastic wrap, allowing excess to hang over the sides. This will make it easier to remove the cheese ball later.

Combine cheese and seasoning

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 4

Add 225g cream cheese, 225g Monterey Jack cheese, and ½ packet taco seasoning to the Thermomix bowl. Process for 20 Sec./Stufe 4 until well combined.

Add vegetables and pulse

Thermomix® Setting

5 sec/Speed 3

Add 4 stalks roughly chopped green onions, ½ bunch fresh cilantro leaves, and 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers to the Thermomix bowl. Pulse for 5 Sek./Stufe 3 until well combined with flecks of green; do not fully process.

Transfer and refrigerate

Transfer cheese mixture to the lined bowl and press to smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours or overnight.

Invert and shape

Invert cheese onto a serving platter and remove plastic. Use a small shot glass or spoon to create a hole in the center of the cheese to form a wreath shape.
