Tailgating Spicy Taco Cheese Ball image

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.

I made this cheese ball with vegan cream cheese and it turned out great! I also added some chopped veggies to make it more filling.

I made this cheese ball with low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. It turned out just as good as the regular version, but it was a little healthier.
