Notes
Spicy Kick: If you like more heat, add an extra jalapeño or even some chili flakes to the dip. You could also use a spicy salsa for an added kick.

Add More Toppings: Top with sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or even some chopped cilantro to give your dip a fresh, vibrant touch.
