Green Chiles And Cheese Dip Recipes

HATCH CHILE CREAM CHEESE DIP

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 SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a shallow 1-quart baking dish and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the chilies, spinach, pepper jack and Parmesan cheeses. In another bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients and then fold into the chile and cheese mixture until well combined.
• Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbling and starting to brown. If the dip is bubbling and not browning, place under the broiler for a couple minutes.
• Serve warm with tortilla chips.

HOT ARTICHOKE DIP WITH GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the creamy salad dressing, garlic, Parmesan cheese, green chile peppers and artichoke hearts.
• Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly brown. Garnish with green onions and tomato.
