Tips
You can add a layer of taco meat (chicken, ground beef, or fajitas) and serve with tortillas to turn this dip into more of a meal.
Customize the veggie layer with black olives, pico, cilantro, or extra jalapeños.
When cooking in the microwave, start with 10 minutes and check for bubbling; it may need a bit longer.
When cooking in the oven, preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook until everything is heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve with Fritos, tortilla chips, or warm tortillas.
