Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for easier mixing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth using a spatula or an electric mixer on low speed.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, pickled jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
Add the chopped cilantro and gently incorporate it into the dip mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and garnish with additional cilantro or diced jalapenos if desired.
Serve cold with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
