Add diced onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in diced jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low and add Velveeta cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.

Transfer dip to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
