Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 medium ripe avocado
- 1 medium lime
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or shallow serving dish.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Squeeze the lime over the avocado to prevent browning, and mix in the ground cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Layer the mashed avocado evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the salsa over the avocado layer and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese in an even layer over the salsa, then add a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the cheddar.
Finely chop the green onions, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Sprinkle these evenly across the top of the dip for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
