Recipe Tip
Use panko bread crumbs. If you don’t want to use crispy onions and crispy jalapeños, use bread crumbs! I like to toss 1 cup of bread crumbs with a teaspoon or two of melted butter. Add it to the top of the dip and transfer to the oven to bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, feel free to swap out the crispy onions and crispy jalapeños for crushed up Ritz crackers or bread crumbs. Yum.
I would say it’s average spicy. If you’re adverse to spice, you can swap in diced green chiles. They’re not spicy just flavorful.
