2 Hot & Spicy Mexican Dips

Dip Day on Mexican Saturday 

More recipes from yet another cookbook I have in progress. Gee, if I keep posting these, maybe I won't have to publish them. Both have Mexican flavors and centers on artichokes. Enjoy!

Kicking Chicken & Artichoke Dip
delightful, devine and delicious

2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
1 -14 oz can artichoke hearts -drained and chopped fine
1 cup mayonnaise

Combine all ingredients and spoon into a medium baking dish. Cook in a 350 degree F. oven for 20 minutes or until the mixture just starting to bubble along the edges.

Remove and serve with thick-style tortilla chips, sliced vegetables or toasted bread.

Note: for a milder flavor, wash the sauce from the peppers or use another type of pepper.
