  6. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. For immediate serving: Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld (optional).
  8. For hot dip: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

  10. Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
