Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and trim the fresh spinach. Sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat until wilted (approximately 4-5 minutes). Let it cool slightly, then chop it finely.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and shredded Mexican blend cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach, diced green chilies, diced jalapeños, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden brown top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve warm with tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
