Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 280 g)
  • 14 oz canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (about 400 g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (about 225 g)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (110 g)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 g)
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (2.5 ml)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2.5 ml)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (1.25 ml)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing spinach)
  • 1012 corn tortillas (for homemade tortilla chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts.
  4. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in shredded sharp cheddar, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Fold in the sautéed spinach and chopped artichokes until evenly distributed.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the dip is bubbly around the edges.
  9. While baking, cut corn tortillas into triangles (about 6 per tortilla). Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake the tortilla chips for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden brown.
  11. Remove the dip from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving with the homemade tortilla chips.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture. Baking the dip develops a golden crust and enhances flavor. Homemade tortilla chips provide better crunch and control over salt. If dip looks dry after baking, drizzle olive oil or sprinkle extra cheese before serving.
