Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained), cream cheese cubes, shredded cheddar, shredded Monterey Jack, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and salt into a 3–4 quart crock pot. Stir gently to combine the ingredients slightly without fully mixing.
Cook the Dip: Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to the low heat setting. Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the dip becomes hot and creamy throughout.
Final Stir and Garnish: Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is thoroughly heated, give it a good stir to blend all ingredients smoothly. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.
Serve Warm: Serve the dip warm alongside tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. To keep the dip warm during the event, set the crock pot to the ‘warm’ setting.

Notes

For an extra kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the dip before cooking.
This recipe can be easily adapted by using leftover taco chicken or substituting ground beef instead of shredded chicken.
Keep the dip warm in the crock pot on the ‘warm’ setting to maintain ideal serving temperature during parties.
