Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, minced jalapeño peppers, diced green chilies, taco seasoning, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and hot sauce if using. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar). Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture to create a cheesy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy!
