South of the Border Dip

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe yet. I got it from my friend Annmarie and it is so yummy we make it all the time. It's one of those recipes that if I had judged it by the ingredients I would never have made it, but fortunately I tried it first and it is a keeper. I know this is a terrible picture but trust me, it's delicious.

South of the Border Dip

8oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 1/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 4oz can diced green chilies
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese and next six ingredients until combined. Spread into baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with cilantro and serve with chips (Target's blue corn tortilla chips are delish).
