Chef's Tips for a Perfect Dip

• If you prefer a spicier flavor, add more jalapeño pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
• This dip can be prepared in advance; simply cover the last layer (the lettuce and vegetables) to prevent them from wilting and refrigerate until needed.
• You can substitute ground beef with shredded chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
• For a meatless option, simply omit the ground beef or substitute with an additional bean filling.
