Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned black-eyed peas
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large Fresh jalapeño, seeded and diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced jalapeño and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas. Place them in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Step 4
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed peas. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the sautéed jalapeño and garlic mixture, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 7
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
