Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 2 cans mild chopped green chiles (4.5 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Freshly chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. This will be the base of your dip.
- Gradually fold in the grated sharp cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture. Combine until fully incorporated.
- Drain the chopped green chiles and add them to the bowl. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Give your dip a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer more spice, feel free to add extra black pepper or even some diced jalapeños!
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for later.
