Cook, breaking up the block of cheese with a spoon, until the dip is smooth and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with chili powder and scallions, and with tortilla chips for dipping.

To make this substitution, add the cream cheese with the tomatoes and chiles in Step 2, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the cream cheese is melted and incorporated, then add the shredded cheese and cook, stirring until just melted.
