Author Notes
A new spin on the classic - great for a crowd and healthy snack! This is a very versatile recipe that my roommate and I make for all get-togethers - we use whatever spices on hand and always try new things. I have also used sriracha instead of jalapeno which is very good, too! This is also great spread on multigrain toast, topped with a fried egg, fresh spinach, and hot sauce for breakfast. —Ariel Weisman
