2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
4-ounce can chopped green chiles, drained
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
8-ounce carton sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper

Combine tortilla chips and butter; press onto bottom of a lightly

Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer 3 minutes
or until fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each
addition. Stir in cheese, chiles, and ground red pepper. Pour into
prepared pan, and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool 10
minutes on a wire rack. Place on a bed of fresh cilantro or parsley,
