Spinach Poblano Dip

September 11, 2020

If you like traditional spinach artichoke dip then you’re going to love this spin on the classic! This Spinach Poblano Dip is full of flavor and poblano peppers are subbed for the artichoke for an extra little something. If you’re not familiar with poblano peppers don’t even worry about it! They are mild in flavor and in spice. Think of them as more sophisticated bell peppers. The flavors of the poblano pepper really come out when the peppers are cooked, either sauteed or roasted. You can absolutely roast the peppers for this recipe but I am all about convenience and like to saute them with the rest of the veggies to make it quick and easy. To be on the safe side when working with poblanos just take out the seeds and veins to ensure the dip is not spicy. However, if you’re like me and like the spice then add on a jalepeno for an extra kick. OOOOH man, it’s a darn good kind of kick!

Cast iron with chopped peppers, onions, garlic, spinach, shredded cheese, and cream cheese

Let’s talk about what you’ll need for this deliciousness:

-Spinach: use fresh spinach if able to. Frozen spinach works just fine. Thaw it and cook it with the onion and garlic until all liquid is absorbed.

-Poblano Peppers

-Onion

-Garlic

-Mayo

-Sour Cream

-Cream Cheese

-Shredded Oaxaca Cheese (or sub Mozzarella)

Stick the Spinach Poblano Dip under the broiler for a couple of minutes to get a delicious melted topping that you don’t want to miss out on. Such a perfect dip for any gathering, great to take to a potluck, or whenever you’re craving something delicious to dip your tortilla chips in. While you’re at it you might as well make yourself a margarita to wash it all down! Try my hibiscus and ginger margaritas or these orange mango margaritas for a complete fiesta situation!
