Notes

To enhance the flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky depth. If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding a chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce. This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, but can also be served with fresh veggies or as a topping for nachos. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
