Chipotle honey pulled pork layered with cream cheese, green chilies and pepper jack creates a sweet, smoky, and spicy dip perfect for game day or any party.

Chipotle Pulled Pork Dip

I created this Chipotle Pulled Pork Dip as a bold, flavorful alternative to classic game-day dips. Using tender chipotle honey pulled pork as the star ingredient gives the dish a delicious balance of sweet and smoky heat. Layered over a creamy base of softened cream cheese and warmed under melted pepper jack, the dip delivers rich, melty texture and plenty of spicy-sweet depth. It’s easy to assemble, bakes quickly, and shines as an appetizer for parties, Super Bowl gatherings, or casual weeknight indulgence.

Why this dip works

The combination of chipotle honey pulled pork with cream cheese creates a creamy, slightly tangy base that balances the pork’s smokiness and sweetness. Pepper jack brings a zippy, melty finish while diced green chilies add subtle brightness. The result is a crowd-pleasing dip that’s both comforting and exciting—great with tortilla chips, crisp vegetables, crackers, or toasted baguette slices. For an even heartier option, serve alongside soft slider rolls for mini pulled-pork sliders straight from the baking dish.

Ingredients

3 cups chipotle honey pulled pork (prepared ahead)
½ cup chipotle honey sauce (from the pork cooking liquid)
16 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz diced green chilies
2 cups pepper jack cheese, grated
2 tbsp green onions, diced

Instructions

Prepare the pulled pork in advance. Begin slow cooking the pork the morning of, or the day before, you plan to make the dip so the meat has time to shred and absorb the chipotle honey flavors.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the diced green chilies until evenly mixed. Spread this mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart oven-safe baking dish in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chipotle honey pulled pork with ½ cup of the chipotle honey sauce to coat the meat.
Layer the sauced pulled pork over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the grated pepper jack cheese over the top of the pork in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dip is heated through.
Remove from the oven and finish with a sprinkle of diced green onions for freshness.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread. This dip is also delicious eaten straight from the dish with a fork.

Make-ahead: Prepare the pulled pork a day in advance and refrigerate. Assemble the dip and bake when ready to serve.
Cheese options: Swap pepper jack for cheddar or Monterey jack if you prefer a milder melt.
Spice level: Reduce the amount of chipotle sauce or choose mild green chilies to tone down the heat, or add extra chipotle for more kick.
Leftovers: Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals.
