Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 4-6 Roasted Jalapeños Substitute fresh jalapeños for varying spice levels.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Opt for full-fat for best texture.
  • ½ cup Sour Cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • ¼ cup BBQ Sauce Choose low vinegar sauce for robust flavor.

  • 2 cups Tortilla Chips Perfect for dipping.
  • 2 cups Vegetable Sticks Carrots, celery, or bell peppers.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the jalapeños on the sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes until charred.
  2. Let the jalapeños cool for about 10 minutes and then peel off the skins. Slice open and remove seeds for less heat if desired.
  3. In a mixing bowl or food processor, blend the peeled jalapeños with the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add lime juice and BBQ sauce to the mixture, folding gently to create swirls and combine flavors.
  5. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least one hour to let flavors mingle; overnight is ideal for better taste.
  6. Serve the dip chilled with tortilla chips and vegetable sticks for dipping.
