What are the best foods to dip into a cheesy, warm dip?

The best foods to plunge into this creamy heaven are those that complement and withstand the gooey richness.

Tortilla chips offer a salty crunch that contrasts beautifully with the smoothness of the cheese, while veggies, like crisp carrots and celery, add a refreshing crunch and a healthy balance.

For a heartier option, chunks of crusty bread or soft pretzels provide a satisfying chewiness, and their neutral flavors make them an ideal canvas for the cheesy star of the show.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try dipping roasted baby potatoes or meatballs for a comfort-food extravaganza.

Whichever you choose, the key is to pair the Texas Trash dip with something that will enhance both the texture and taste of this delectable melted delight.

How do I make homemade tortilla chips?

Start with corn tortillas, which you’ll cut into wedges. Heat a generous amount of vegetable or canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. In batches, fry the tortilla wedges until they become crisp and are lightly browned—a matter of minutes.

Use tongs to transfer them onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they’re still warm, and optional seasonings like chili powder or lime zest for extra zing.

Enjoy your homemade chips as a crunchy snack, or serve them with your favorite salsa or dip for a delightful treat.
