🧀 Ingredients

  • 6 roasted jalapeños – Roasted for smoky depth and mellowed heat
  • 16 oz cream cheese – The creamy base that brings everything together
  • 6 oz white cheddar – Adds sharpness and a melty texture
  • 1 tbsp chili powder or smoked paprika – For warmth and an earthy flavor
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder – Adds savory depth
  • 1 tsp cumin – Earthy and slightly nutty for a Tex-Mex kick
  • Salt & pepper – To taste
  • Chili flakes – Sprinkled on top for a spicy pop

🔪 How to Make It

  1. Roast the Jalapeños: Place jalapeños under a broiler or over a gas flame until charred and blistered. Peel off the skins, remove seeds (or leave them in for extra heat), and roughly chop.
  2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl or food processor, blend the cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add Cheese and Spices: Mix in the shredded white cheddar, roasted jalapeños, chili powder (or smoked paprika), garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Finish & Serve: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and top with chili flakes. Serve cold or warm slightly for a melty texture.

🥣 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or crunchy veggie sticks
  • Use as a spread for sandwiches or bagels
  • Dollop on nachos, tacos, or even grilled meats

This dip isn’t just a side dish—it’s the main event.

✨ Pro Tip

For extra flavor, bake the dip at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes until hot and bubbly. You can also toss in crispy bacon bits, caramelized onions, or a splash of lime juice for a twist.
