• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, add the cream cheese and whole milk over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring after each addition until fully melted and incorporated.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, finely diced jalapeño peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Continue to cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot and bubbling slightly.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you'd like it spicier, add more jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Step 6

Transfer the dip to a serving dish or a small slow cooker set to warm to keep it hot while serving.

Step 7

Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro, if using, for a burst of fresh flavor.
