Notes

Tips

  • Make the dip a few hours or a day ahead for flavors to blend better.
  • Keep chips or veggies separate until serving to stay crunchy.
  • Use fresh ingredients for toppings to keep layers bright and flavorful.
  • Mexican blend cheese can be used instead of cheddar for a little twist.

Variations

  • Spicy version: Add chopped jalapenos, hot sauce, or crushed red pepper to the salsa layer.
  • Kid-friendly version: Skip the jalapenos or any spicy ingredients.
  • Single-serving cups: Layer dip in small jars or cups for easy lunchbox or snack options.
  • Different beans: Try black beans or refried pinto beans for a slightly different flavor.
