Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 4 ounces diced green chilies
- 1 medium jalapeños, finely diced
- 1 teaspoons cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups cilantro, chopped
- tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and trim the fresh spinach. Sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat until wilted (approximately 4-5 minutes). Let it cool slightly, then chop it finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and shredded Mexican blend cheese. Mix until smooth.
Add the chopped spinach, diced green chilies, diced jalapeños, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden brown top.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
