#RecipeTips: To easily crush tortilla chips for a crust, place them in a resealable plastic bag and secure it with a rubber band. Then take a heavy skillet (cast iron is best) and press down on the bag until all of the tortillas are crushed to your desired consistency. This will also save you from having to clean up a mess of broken tortillas.
#RecipeTips: If you’ve ever tried to stir hot salsa into sour cream, you know it just doesn’t mix right. The solution? Use a blender or immersion hand blender (my favorite kitchen utensil) and blend it all at once. Better yet – make your own fresh salsa with this recipe.
#RecipeTips: You can use less onion powder if you like, but the original recipe calls for it. This is because there is a very small amount of onion in each can of Nacho Cheese Sauce. If you don’t want red or black specks throughout your dip, just strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth before adding to sour cream (I do this often with tomato sauce during the summer).
