Ingredients

To create this mouthwatering dip, gather the following ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup sour cream

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 bag of your favorite corn chips

Instructions

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.

2. Add the Cheese

   • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until well incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.

3. Mix in the Tomatoes
