Finish the dip by adding your spice blend, cream cheese, sour cream and lime juice. To extract the most juice out of your limes, Joe Bird recommends microwaving the limes in 10-15 second intervals or using the palm of your hand to firmly roll the limes on the countertop. Garnish the dip with cilantro and cotija cheese, and serve with Tostitos Scoops.
