Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 oz. (4.5-oz.) can green chiles
- 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
Tortilla Graves
- 4 flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat and mix dip ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded pepper jack cheese, enchilada sauce, shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, green chiles, and taco seasoning to create the flavorful dip mixture.
- Bake the dip: Transfer the dip mixture to a cast-iron skillet. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is thoroughly warmed and bubbling, indicating it is ready to serve.
- Prepare tortilla graves: While the dip bakes, cut the flour tortillas into grave-shaped pieces. Lay them out on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they become sturdy and crispy to hold their shape in the dip.
- Assemble and serve: Once the dip is baked, top it with shredded lettuce for added freshness and crunch. Insert the baked tortilla graves into the dip for a festive presentation. Serve immediately alongside tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute pepper jack cheese with Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend if preferred.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook and shred your own chicken breasts.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning based on your spice preference.
- To make tortilla graves sturdier, bake them until they are golden brown but not burnt.
- This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just reheat before serving.
