Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces diced green chiles (canned)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until they are deeply caramelized. Reduce the heat to low if needed to prevent burning.
While the onions are cooking, soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds or letting it sit at room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the taco seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chiles, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Once the onions are caramelized, let them cool slightly before roughly chopping them into smaller pieces.
Fold the chopped caramelized onions into the dip mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, if desired.
Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or crackers. Enjoy!
