Notes
- Green chiles range from mild to extra hot. Pick the heat level that suits your personal preference.
- To roast your own green chiles, place them directly on a hot grill over high heat or on a broiler-safe baking sheet and roast until they’re nice and black. Use tongs to flip the chiles to char all sides of the chiles. Once black all over, place the chiles in a sealed plastic bag for about 10 minutes and then peel the chiles, remove the tops and chop.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing. If you try to mix it straight out of the refrigerator, it will be lumpy and difficult to stir. Let it sit in room temperature for 30-60 minutes before using. You can also soften the block of cream cheese in the microwave, but only heat it in very short increments to avoid melting.
- If you make the dip ahead of time, remove it from the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before baking, especially if you use a ceramic baking dish. A cold ceramic baking dish can crack if it goes into a hot oven. Plus, this ensures your dip goes it at a warmer temperature for faster baking.
