How to Make Spicy Cheese Dip

  1. Combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and pepper jack cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Add diced jalapeños (adjust amount to your spice preference), taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the cheese is melted and smooth (approximately 3-5 minutes total).
  4. Stir in the sour cream until fully combined.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetables, or crackers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
