Step 1- Make the Chips First
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the corn tortillas into triangles, brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and any optional spices.
Step 2- Bake Until Crispy
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips turn golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them toward the end since they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
Step 3- Blend the Dip
While the chips bake, add all the dip ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until smooth and fully whipped.
Step 4- Taste and Adjust
Taste the dip and adjust any ingredients as needed. Add more lime juice for brightness, salt for seasoning, or jalapeño for extra heat.
Step 5- Serve
Transfer the whipped dip to a serving bowl, smooth out the top, and add any garnishes like red pepper flakes or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve alongside your freshly baked tortilla chips, chopped veggies, or dolloped over your favorite Mexican dishes.
