8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese*
4 ounces diced green chiles
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or cilantro (optional garnish)
2 slices fresh jalapeno (optional garnish)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl, and mix together until smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar, chiles, jalapeno, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, and fold in until combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe serving dish.
Place the panko bread crumbs, parmesan, and melted butter in a small bowl, and stir with a fork until combined.
Layer the seasoned bread crumbs on top of the dip and bake until dip is warmed through and the topping is slightly browned and crunchy (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).
Garnish with fresh herbs and jalapeno slices, if desired.
Serve hot with tortilla chips.

*Substitute with pepper jack cheese, for a spicier taste.
