Tips

Great make-ahead snack. The bean dip can be refrigerated for five days. Store the tortilla chips in a cookie tin at room temperature for up to one week.
 
Little chefs can help shake the tortilla wedges in the bag.
 
No time to make the chips?  Serve with your family’s favourite veggies or whole grain crackers for dipping.
 
Change up the beans and herbs to create different flavours and tastes sensations.
