Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a flex-edge silicone spatula for smooth layering and easy cleanup. It’s a game-changer for dips and frostings.
  • Choose a shallow glass dish for the best presentation so that guests can see every tasty layer.
  • For a shortcut, use a pre-shredded lettuce mix and store-bought pico de gallo instead of chopped tomatoes.
  • Add layers of refried beans or guacamole underneath the cheese mix for a heartier dip.
