30-Minute Spinach Artichoke Dip with Homemade Tortilla Chips

The appetizer is just an excuse for an extra meal. Let’s see, I will take eighty buffalo wings.

-Jim Gaffigan

Okay friends, let’s talk about how badly we just need unhealthy savor dishes in our life sometimes. As much as I attempt to eat clean/healthy majority of the week, your girl craves bad foods occasionally.

I recently did a poll on instagram to see what you all wanted my next recipe to be and overwhelmingly the vote was a savory appetizer. I think the holiday season has us all in the mood to eat as much comfort food as we can & I definitely can’t blame you, I feel the same way!

When thinking about my favorite appetizers from my favorite restaurant or gatherings with friends, immediately my brain went to Spinach Artichoke Dip! It is my go to appetizer because it is cheesy, creamy & no matter how much you don’t want to be tempted, it is hard to say no to at least one bite!

This 30-Minute Spinach Artichoke Dip is not only incredibly simple to make, but the homemade baked tortilla chips that you make with them are better than anything you can buy in the store!

Making this dip is incredibly simple. It involves 1 bowl and 1 skillet.

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Next add all of your “wet ingredients” into a large bowl. This includes your sour cream, cream cheese, milk/half-half and garlic. Mix it all together until smooth.

To make your baked tortilla chips, start by cutting your tortillas in half. Repeat by cutting your halves until you have between 24-32 chips.

Bake your spinach artichoke dip in the oven for 15-18 minutes until it begins to bubble. Finish by placing the skillet on the top rack to “broil” the cheese and allow it to get crispy for 2 minutes.

While you are baking the dip, add your tortilla chips to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Flipping chips halfway through.
