For a bolder experience, explore the spicy variation, where a generous sprinkling of chili powder and cayenne pepper ignites a fiery kick that complements the earthy notes of the mushrooms. The addition of diced jalapeños adds an extra layer of heat, creating a dip that is both flavorful and satisfying.
