Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup salsa

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips or fresh vegetables (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the softened cream cheese and half of the sharp cheddar cheese. Stir gently until melted and smooth.

    Add in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, the remaining cheddar cheese, and the Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well until all the cheese has melted, creating a creamy consistency.

      Stir in the salsa, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Continue to heat the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and well combined, about 5-7 minutes.

          Once the dip is warm and bubbling, remove it from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

            Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
