About the Chef

Oregon, United States
My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .

Quick Mexican Dip

Perfect for parties, potlucks, and dinners.  Inexpensive and easy to make, plus it's very easy to half or double or triple this recipe!  Everyone loves it and it's very non traditional (who else is getting tired of cheeseballs?)  I actually got the idea from someone who made Jalapeno Popper Dip and brought it to work.  It was good, but I wanted a little bit more from it.

This is what you'll need:

3 8oz packages of cream cheese
1 cup sour cream or Mexican Crema
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 small cans diced green chiles
2 small cans jalapeno peppers (or about 4-7 fresh jalapeno peppers, finely diced, without seeds)
2 tbs taco seasoning (or 1 tbs cumin, 1 tbs chile powder)
1 tbs dried cilantro
3 diced green onions

Mix all ingredients together and bake on 375 for about 40 minutes, or until bubbly.  Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or bread.
