Recipe Tips.
- You can substitute half of the chicken with your favorite beans, such as black beans.
- Heat it up with more jalapeños, chili flakes, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper.
- We like Las Palmas green enchilada sauce, or we also have a homemade version that is delicious.
- Crock Pot. Mix all the ingredients and cook in the slow cooker on LOW for 2 hours. Top with shredded cheese during the last 30 minutes.
Make ahead, mix the dip up to 24 hours in advance, cover and chill, then bake as directed when guests arrive.
Store leftovers in an airtight container 2–3 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
