Step 2: Cover and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve chilled with Fritos Scoops for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a tangier twist, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
Add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños for extra heat.

Use turkey bacon for a lighter, lower-fat version.
