Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 medium ripe avocado
• 1 medium lime
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3 stalks green onions
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 1 bag tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or shallow serving dish.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Squeeze the lime over the avocado to prevent browning, and mix in the ground cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Layer the mashed avocado evenly over the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Spoon the salsa over the avocado layer and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese in an even layer over the salsa, then add a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the cheddar.

Step 7

Finely chop the green onions, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Sprinkle these evenly across the top of the dip for added flavor and a pop of color.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
