Instructions

Notes
- Chilling the dip for one hour before serving helps the flavors meld and enhances the taste.
- You can add cooked, seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken for a meatier version.
- Try different cheese varieties such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor and spice.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream and cheese with dairy-free alternatives.
- Using an 8-inch square glass dish helps in creating distinct layers for better presentation.
