Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Hatch green chile or 1 cup canned diced Hatch chiles
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions, white and light green parts only, plus 2 tablespoons sliced dark green parts, for garnish (4 to 5 scallions)
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese (8 ounces)
1 teaspoon lime zest (2 limes)
Blue and white tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the Hatch chiles on a burner over medium-low heat until the skins char and blister; this will happen very quickly. Remove to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes to steam.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, swirling the pan to coat. Add the scallions and cook until slightly softened, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and seed the chile and then it cut into medium dice. Turn the heat under the skillet to low and add the chiles, cream cheese and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the cream cheese is melted. Add the sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, and the lime zest. Smooth the top and then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and just starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with the dark green scallions and serve with tortilla chips.

GREEN CHILE CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Use this on Tortillas and top with your favorite taco or fajita toppings. You can also spread it on a tortilla, roll it up and slice crosswise into 1/4 inch slices for a tasty and easy canape. I also stuff chicken breasts with this and dredge them in a coating, then bake. Very versatile and you can tweak it to your tastes. Add chili powder, roasted garlic, etc.

5 LAYER CREAM CHEESE CHILI DIP



5 Layer Cream Cheese Chili Dip image

There are so many layers of flavor in this chili cheese dip. All the flavors meld together as you scoop it out. Cream cheese mixed with chili and cheese is always a winner. Adding chiles and jalapenos are bombs of flavor in the dip. Jalapenos add a small kick of spice. Not only are the green onions a nice garnish, but they also...

Provided by Samantha Orso

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg cream cheese softened, 8 oz
1 can(s) chili with out beans, 15 oz.
1 pkg cheese, shredded (I like Colby jack), 8 oz
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 can(s) diced green chilies, 4 oz
1 can(s) diced jalapenos (optional), 4 oz
1 pkg corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 2 qt baking dish place softened cream cheese and spread over bottom of the pan evenly.
  • 2. Once cream cheese is spread out, layer green chilies and if using jalapenos spread evenly over cream cheese.
  • 3. For the third layer, spread chili over peppers and cream cheese evenly.
  • 4. For the fourth layer, evenly spread your shredded cheese. Finally for the fifth layer, top with green onions.
  • 5. Once layers are assembled place dip in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Let cool for about five minutes {unless you want it hot and gooey). Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to finely dice the onion and bell pepper. This will help them to evenly distribute their flavor throughout the spread.
  • If you want a smoother spread, you can use a food processor to puree the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper before adding them to the skillet. You can use a blender if you don't have a food processor.
  • Be sure to cook the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper until they are softened before adding the cream cheese. This will help to bring out their flavor and make the spread more cohesive.
  • If you are using a block of cream cheese, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • You can use any type of chili powder that you like. If you want a spicier spread, use a chili powder that is made with cayenne pepper.
  • Garnish the spread with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese chili spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
