Essentials for your dips

From Tortillas to Crackers:

The perfect companion to spicy dips lies in selecting chips and crackers that can stand up to bold flavours while enhancing the snacking experience. Sturdy tortilla chips, particularly thick restaurant-style varieties, offer robust corn flavour and structural integrity, while authentic homemade totopos deliver an unmatched taste with their irregular shapes and varying thicknesses. Blue corn tortilla chips add visual drama with a nuttier flavour profile, and yellow corn varieties provide that classic crunch perfect for Mexican-style dips. Pita chips bring a hearty crunch that pairs beautifully with hummus-based spicy dips, while ridged potato chips provide deep grooves that capture every bit of zesty goodness. For lighter options, fresh cucumber rounds offer a cooling contrast, and water crackers serve as neutral vessels that let complex spicy flavours shine through, while multi-grain crackers add a nutty dimension perfect for chunky dips
