Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned black-eyed peas
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large Fresh jalapeño, seeded and diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced jalapeño and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas. Place them in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed peas. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the sautéed jalapeño and garlic mixture, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the chopped cilantro.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
