Instructions

Start by cooking the spinach dip, ensuring it cools in time.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the spinach and cook until wilted for about 2-3 minutes.
Move the cooked spinach to a small container and refrigerate it to cool.
While the spinach cools, cut shamrock or clover shapes from the green tortillas for the chips.
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Arrange the cut-out shamrock shapes on a lined baking sheet, brush with oil or melted butter, and sprinkle with salt.
Bake the tortilla chips for 5-8 minutes until the edges are golden.
If desired, spritz some lime juice on the warm tortillas for extra flavor.
In a bowl, mix the cooled spinach with the remaining oil, cream cheese, yogurt, garlic, basil, and seasoning. Adjust flavors to your liking.

Notes

For extra flavor, add more garlic or lime juice to the dip as per your taste.
Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving for a thicker consistency.
Experiment with other herbs like dill or parsley for variation.
