This Baked Green Chile Dip is cheesy, warm, and flavorful! The perfect mild dip for all.
This post will teach you how to make a Green Chile Dip that EVERYONE will obsess over.
Baked Green Chile Dip is cheesy, creamy, and perfectly seasoned! It calls for mild green chiles, but you could spice it up using pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey.
If you love guacamole and queso, then this chip dip is something you will surely enjoy, too! Like queso, it has all of the to-die-for melted cheese components. It also incorporates fresh ingredients and seasonings (like a good guac recipe minus the avocados) to make it INSANELY delicious.
Once this spread is baked, enjoy it while the cheese is bubbly and hot, preferably with thin and crispy tortilla chips. Also, don’t forget to garnish the top with plenty of fresh green onions. They add a unique flavor component that adds tasty dimension. Enjoy!
Green Chile Chip Dip
Ingredients You’ll Need:

- 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Can of Mild Diced Green Chiles, approximately 4.5 ounces.

How To Make Green Chile Dip, Step-By-Step
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. I sprayed my baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside for now.
Step 2: Combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise using a stand or hand mixer.
Step 3: Shred the 8-ounce block of cheese. You should get about two cups. Add one cup to the mixing bowl with the mayo and cream cheese mixture, and set aside the other cup. The second cup of cheese will be used as a topping later on.
Step 4: Next, add the cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper to the same mixing bowl. Mix until ingredients are all combined.
Step 5: Gently fold in the diced green chiles using a spatula.
Step 6: Add the dip to the baking dish and top it with the second cup of shredded cheese.
Step 7: Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 8: Finely dice two green onions and garnish the baked green chile dip with them before serving. Fresh green onions are highly recommended because they add a flavorful dimension!
FAQs
What Are The Best Chips To Serve With This Simple Green Chile Dip?
Tortilla chips, of any kind, are perfect with this dip! I specifically served blue corn tortilla chips with this spread because they are nuttier.
Does This Spread Taste Similar To Hot Pepper Jelly Dip?
Although their textures are similar, their tastes are very different. Red pepper jelly is sweet and spicy, while green chile dip is not sweet at all.
