Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Wilt the Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt down before adding more. Once all the spinach is wilted, stir in the juice of half a lime, ¼ cup of chopped cilantro, the can of chopped green chiles, ½ teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin.
Make the Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in 8 oz of cream cheese, ½ cup of sour cream, and 2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
