Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (110 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 10 small corn tortillas, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the thawed spinach using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. (Approx. 5 minutes)
  2. Drain the artichoke hearts well and chop into small pieces. Set aside. (2 minutes)
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until evenly combined. (2 minutes)
  5. Fold in the drained spinach and chopped artichokes gently to keep the mixture light and airy. (2 minutes)
  6. Pour the mixture into a small oven-safe dish (about 8×8 inches or similar). Spread evenly. (1 minute)
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dip uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top. (20-25 minutes)
  8. While the dip bakes, toss the tortilla wedges with olive oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread in a single layer.
  9. Bake the tortilla chips for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden. (10-12 minutes)
  10. Let the dip cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with the crunchy tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smoother mixing. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. Let dip rest after baking for easier scooping. Homemade tortilla chips can be re-crisped in oven if softened.
