Ingredients

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2-3 fresh jalapeños, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust based on heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tortilla chips or vegetable sticks (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Start by finely chopping the jalapeños. If you prefer a milder dip, you can retain some of the seeds, but removing them will reduce the heat.

Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and shredded cheddar cheese. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.

Add Seasonings: Stir in the chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Serve: Once chilled, taste the dip and adjust the seasonings if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks for dipping.

Enjoy: Gather your friends and family, dig in, and enjoy the spicy, creamy goodness of your homemade jalapeño dip!
