In our house, we also call this lovely dip/spread/random snack, “Mexican Butter.” While this treat packs a hefty caloric punch, it also contains a lot of really good fats. And I’ve heard from the experts that we need good fats, as opposed to the delicious but nefarious fats found in steak, butter, etc.

A simple dip using basic pantry ingredients. Except for the raw sesame seeds. You’ll need to make a trip to Good Earth for those.

A great way to have Mexican restaurant chips without stepping outside your door. Plus you don’t have to round up the kids and stuff them in a booth. Win-win.
