ingredients
- 16 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (not the fancy or finely shredded)
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onions
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 -2 teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno
- 4 ounces pimientos, drained
- 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's)
- salt and pepper (optional)
directions
- Combine first 7 ingredients. Stir in mayo until combined. Taste and add salt / pepper if necessary. I find the cheese and spices usually do not need additional salt.
- If you can find it, use chipotle chile powder - it give the dip a wonderful smoky taste.
