This dip combines smooth textures and an intense, savory flavor that enhances the taste of the crispy tortilla chips, making it an essential accompaniment for gatherings, snacks, and casual meals.

Over time, this preparation has transcended its place of origin and has been integrated into numerous culinary variations in both Mexico and various regions of Latin America.
