Notes
Serve with tortilla scoops, chips, crackers, or bread rounds.I used hot canned chilis but you can amp up the heat by adding hot sauce or diced jalapenos.You can make this dip ahead by placing the contents in an airtight container and placing it in the fridge before baking.You can also reheat any refrigerated leftovers for the next day or so.
