Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups White cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped jalapeño to the melted butter and cook for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the cream cheese, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
Slowly add the shredded white cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, stirring constantly until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Once the dip is smooth and creamy, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with your choice of low-carb dippers, such as sliced bell peppers, celery sticks, or pork rinds.
