  8. Fresh roasted Hatch Green Chilies pictured. Peeled, seeds removed and chopped. Use two 4 oz canned green chilies, [fully drained] if you can't find fresh roasted in your area.

  10. Garnish your hot dip with fresh chilled chopped cilantro, colorful bell peppers, jalapeños, Mexican 3 Cheese and red, white and green onions. Serve with super sturdy, thick tortilla chips as this is one heavy, clingy dip. Ice cold Mexican beers go great with this dish as well. Enjoy!
