- Keep toppings like cilantro and green onions separate until serving for extra freshness.
- Stir the dip quickly before serving if it sits in the fridge.
- Keep chips or bread separate to prevent sogginess.
Variations
- Add diced jalapeño for extra spice.

- Use feta instead of cotija cheese for a slightly tangier taste.
- Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for deeper smoky flavor.
- Serve warm by heating in the oven for a gooey, melty version.
