Print Recipe

A creamy, smoky, and slightly spicy dip featuring roasted Hatch green chiles and melty cheeses, perfect for game day or any casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped (fresh or fire-roasted canned)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 100 g)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 110 g)
  • ½ cup sour cream (120 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place green chiles on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until skins blister and blacken.
  2. Remove chiles from oven and place in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap or sealed bag to steam for 10 minutes.
  3. Peel off skins, remove seeds if desired, and chop chiles roughly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheese. Stir until mostly combined, leaving some texture. Optionally pulse in a food processor for 15-20 seconds for a smoother dip.
  5. Mix in minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  6. Fold chopped roasted Hatch chiles into the cheese mixture. Add lime juice if using and adjust seasoning.
  7. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden on top.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

For best flavor, roast fresh Hatch chiles yourself or use fire-roasted canned chiles. Do not overheat cheese mixture to avoid gummy texture. Steaming chiles after roasting makes peeling easier and reduces bitterness. If dip is too thick after baking, stir in a little milk or cream to loosen. Can be made vegan by substituting dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives. Slow cooker option: keep dip warm on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
