Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups refried beans
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag (about 10 ounces) tortilla chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the refried beans, cream cheese, and sour cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, ground cumin, and optional hot sauce. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, such as a 9-inch pie plate or a small casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly in the dish and sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden and melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro, if using.
Serve warm with a generous bowl of tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
