Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, yellow, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (or chili powder)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the base:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the flavorings:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, taco seasoning (or chili powder), garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
  • Add the vegetables:
    • Fold in the diced bell peppers and sliced green onions, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  • Chill (optional):
    • For best results, cover the dip and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional, but it can enhance the taste.
  • Serve:
    • Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks. Garnish with chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick!
  • You can substitute the shredded cheddar cheese with a blend of Mexican cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more lime juice or taco seasoning if you prefer a more intense flavor.
