    1 tablespoon oil
    3 tablespoons finely minced onion

    In a heavy medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.

    to 4 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

    Add spinach and green chilies. Cook and stir until
    well mixed, about 1 minute. Add cream and cook until
    mixture begins to boil, about 1 minute.

    REDUCE HEAT to low and gradually add cream cheese,
    stirring until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
    Gradually add the Monterey Jack cheese, stirring until
    melted. Do not allow mixture to boil or cheese will

    dipping. Server 4 to 6

    Note: To keep mixture warm or to reheat, place onver a
    pan of hot, but not boiling water.
