1. Prepare the Bowl:
Line a 16-ounce bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap overhangs the edges for easy removal.
2. Mix Cheese Base:
Using a food processor, combine the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and taco seasoning until well blended. Add half of the cilantro, green onions, and green chiles. Pulse until the ingredients are distributed but not fully blended (you want flecks of green).
3. Shape the Wreath:
Transfer the cheese mixture to the prepared bowl. Press it down to remove air pockets and create a smooth surface. Cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
4. Create the Wreath Center:
Once chilled, invert the cheese mixture onto a serving platter and carefully peel off the plastic wrap. Use a shot glass or the back of a spoon to create a small hole in the center, shaping the cheese into a wreath.
