  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors to meld and will make the dip more refreshing.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings for Mexican dip include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
  • Make the dip ahead of time: Mexican dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great option for parties or potlucks.
