Method

Dip Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the white queso cheese, shredded cooked chicken, chopped cilantro, adobo seasoning, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Taste the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Ensure the flavor is balanced and to your preference.

  3. 3

    Heat the Dip

    Transfer the mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the dip is heated through and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once heated, remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Chips Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Tortilla Chips

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tortilla chips on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. 6

    Season Chips

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tortilla chips and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to evenly coat the chips with oil and salt.

  3. 7

    Bake Chips

    Bake the chips in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are crispy and lightly golden.

  4. 8

    Serve with Dip

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving alongside the Elote Chicken Adobo Dip.
