Note

For a milder flavor, use only green chiles and omit the jalapeños. For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeños.

This dip can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent separation.

If the dip becomes too thick after cooling, add a splash of milk or water to restore the desired consistency.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
