For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of diced tomatoes with green chilies to your preferred level of spiciness. For a bolder flavor, use a sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. If you do not have the time to refrigerate for 2 hours, a minimum of 30 minutes will still result in a good product.
