  • ¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped pickled jalapeño
  •  Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 (8‑inch) flour tortillas
  • ~2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

  • Use premade rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Ensure tortillas are warmed to prevent tearing.
  • Dip can be made ahead and stored refrigerated.
