Cooking Tips

• For a spicier dip, leave some of the seeds in the roasted chilies.
• You can also add some chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for extra flavor.
• If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients.

Storage and Serving

• This dip is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving.
• You can make this dip ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• If the dip becomes too thick after refrigeration, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or sour cream.
