Notes

For best results, serve the Spinach Queso Dip warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables. You can adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. If the dip becomes too thick after resting, gently reheat it with a splash of milk or cream to reach the desired consistency.
