Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the refried beans, cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
Add the salsa, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 0.5 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 0.5 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly on top of the bean mixture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and diced jalapeños if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or your favorite dippables. Enjoy!
