- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and finely chop the jalapeños and green onions to ensure even distribution throughout the dip.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to enable easy blending and create a smooth, creamy texture.

- Fold in the Flavor: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, and green onions so that every bite is bursting with vibrant flavors.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly before serving.

- Use fresh jalapeños and green onions for brightness and crunch.
- Chill the dip to let flavors meld and deepen for best taste experience.
