Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Finely chop the orange habanero pepper, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add it to the cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Add garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Baking

  1. 5

    Transfer the cheese mixture into an oven-safe dish and spread it evenly.

  2. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is slightly golden.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish

    Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions if desired.

  2. 8

    Serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetables, or bread for dipping.
