- 1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chiles
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1–2 jalapeños, chopped (fresh or pickled)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start mixing, gather all your ingredients, ensuring everything is ready to go to streamline your cooking process.
- Prepare the Creamy Base: In a medium-sized bowl, blend the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy. This ensures a delightful texture for your dip.
- Mix in the Cheese and Spices: Add the shredded cheese, green chiles, taco seasoning, and chopped jalapeños to the cream mixture. Stir thoroughly until well combined and every ingredient is evenly distributed.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Scoop the prepared dip into a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly to allow for uniform heating in the oven.
- Bake for Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve hot with your favorite chips, veggies, or bread for dipping. Dive in and enjoy the rave reviews!
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your cream cheese and sour cream sit out for a bit so they blend more smoothly.
- Don’t Skimp on Cheese: The more cheese, the better, as it adds richness and depth to the flavor.
- Monitor the Bake Time: Keep an eye on the dip in the oven to avoid over-browning; you want it bubbly, not burnt.
- Experiment with Spices: Adjust the taco seasoning to match your taste preferences for a personalized touch.
- Make it Ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance and bake it just before serving for a fuss-free experience.
