Jalapeno Cheese Dip

Ingredients:
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos, grated
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, put through garlic press
2 ounces chopped pimiento
3 green onions, finely chopped
sunflower nuts

Directions:
Mix together the cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic. Do not cover. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 20 minutes or microwave on High for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mix in half of the pimiento, onion and sunflower nuts. Bake for 5 more minutes, or microwave on High for an additional 2-3 minutes. (Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated up to a week and reheated in oven or microwave until hot. Stir well to recombine.)

Garnish with remaining ingredients, placing pimiento in the center, green onion around the pimiento and sunflower nuts around the edge.

Serve with tortilla chips, preferably lightly salted white corn chips.
