This recipe is fun and easy, tasty and sharable… Everyone will grabbing for just one more loaded tortilla chip. You can decide how much heat you want in this recipe, it is mild with these ingredients. Add more cayenne pepper to really get a flaming hot appetizer! You can also use a deep fryer to make this process just bit easier is you are preparing for a large crowd. I also use a simple shaker to apply the seasoning to the chips. Double the dip recipe to serve a large crowd as well; the dip tends to go really fast since it is chunky. Enjoy!
