Colby-Pepper Jack Cheese Dip

I made this one in May out at the ranch and never got around to posting it, so since I'm crossing things off my list, here it is. Robbye and I loved it! I ommitted the chicken--I don't think I like meat in my dips (unless it's queso, of course!).

Colby-Pepper Jack Cheese Dip

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayo
1 T finely chopped chipotle in adobo sauce
2 T chili powder
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 cups shredded Colby -Jack cheese blend
1 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
NOT 4 green onions, finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Tortilla and sweet potato chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in chicken and next 5 ingredients until blended. Spoon cheese mixture into a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Spoon into serving bowl. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro. Serve with tortilla and sweet potato chips.
