This Sombrero Chip & Dip Platter is an easy way to add flair to your party while serving up a snack everyone loves. It’s festive, simple to assemble, and makes a fantastic conversation starter. Try it at your next fiesta, and watch your guests gather around to talk about it.
The sombrero creates a playful display, holding a variety of tortilla chips around the brim along with various bowls of salsa and guacamole. I think your guests will find it really creative and fun.
Helpful Tips
- Elevate It for More Impact – Place the sombrero on an inverted bowl or cake stand to add some height to your table. This makes it easier for guests to grab chips and gives your spread a more dynamic, layered look.
- Keep Chips Fresh & Crisp – If you’re hosting a longer event, consider refreshing the chips throughout the night to keep them from going stale. You can also offer small tongs or scoop-style chips to minimize direct hand contact.
- Add Garnishes for Extra Flair – Brighten up your display with limes, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro scattered around the brim. This adds color and a fresh aroma that complements your dips perfectly.
