Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 4 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz diced chilies or jalapenos
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup pico de gallo

Instructions

  • Combine cream cheese, Monterey jack cheese, diced chilies, and enchilada sauce in a small sauce pan.
  • Cook over low heat until cheese has melted, stirring frequently.
  • Pour into individual serving bowls, top with pico de gallo, and serve with tortilla chips.
  • Optional: This recipe can be made in a small crockpot. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour or until cheese has melted completely.

Notes

  • Add extras: Toss in some black beans or a handful of sautéed vegetables for a little extra flavor. You can also add cooked ground beef or sausage. 
  • Room-temperature cream cheese: Let the cream cheese soften before incorporating it. It blends so smoothly that way.
  • Stir often: Keep the heat low and give it plenty of stirs. Cheese has a sneaky way of sticking to the pan and burning fast.
