For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, salsa, and chili seasoning. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chili seasoning mix for an extra kick. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or crudités for a delightful appetizer spread. This log can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
