Recipe

Preheat oven to 375° F. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add red onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, three-fourths of cheddar, and salt until smooth. Stir in cooked vegetables, peas, tomatoes, green onion, jalapeño, and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Spread mixture into skillet.

Bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
