Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh jalapeños
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and deseed the jalapeños, then finely chop them. Leave a few seeds if you prefer extra heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese (softened), sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the crushed tortilla chips. Toss to coat and lightly toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Sprinkle the toasted tortilla chips evenly over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the topping is crispy.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with extra tortilla chips, vegetable slices, or crackers for dipping. Enjoy the surprisingly addictive flavors!
