Football and food go hand in hand. Some of us may like the food just as much, if not more, than the actual game. But even if you are there to cheer on your favorite team, we can all agree that a watch party isn’t the same without a spread of snacks, finger foods, comfort recipes, and of course, dips. Few cuisines deliver a delicious dip quite like those with some Mexican inspiration, from salsas and guacamoles to layered bean and cheese dips. These are our 10 best Mexican-inspired dip recipes to enjoy during the football season.
