Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Green chiles, diced (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and let it soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make mixing easier.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, mix the softened cream cheese with the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and diced green chiles. Stir until evenly distributed.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you'd like more spice, you can add additional diced green chiles or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or bowl. For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately with crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
