# Instructions:

Gather all ingredients and prepare them as needed. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature, drain the Rotel Tomatoes to remove excess liquid, and chop the green onions, cilantro, and jalapeños if using.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld for the best taste. Optionally, prepare up to a day in advance and stir before serving.

01 -
For optimal results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth texture.

Use well-drained Rotel Tomatoes to prevent the dip from becoming watery.

Chilling the dip enhances flavors and allows them to blend together.
