Instructions
 

  • Grate both cheeses.
  • Chop jalapenos and onions.
  • Mix Mayo, garlic paste, seasonings, pimentos together.
  • Add everything together and mix but be careful not to over mix. You want to recognize the shreds of cheese. Sprinkle chili powder on top.

Notes

Use any kind of Mexican Spice Blend or make up a big batch of this easy homemade Mexican Spice Blend.
Use a combination of jarred pimentos and jarred roasted red peppers. 
If you need to use pre-packaged shredded cheese, use the kind that has large grated cheese...it will have more flavor.
