Mexican Dip Recipes FAQs
This dip is great served cold! It’s one of the best Mexican dips for tortilla chips and is perfect for eating without heating, as long as you’ve already broiled the corn. However, make sure not to chill it just before serving or the cream cheese may become difficult to scoop. Let it stay soft at room temperature and enjoy!
You can refrigerate and keep our easy Mexican dip recipe for up to 3 days. Let it soften again before serving if you’re making it ahead of time.
