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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
