/8 Cup Vegetable oil; divided  
/4 Cup Flour  
Cup Milk  
/2 Cup Grated Parmesan cheese −; (abt 2 oz)  
/2 Cup Grated Monterey Jack cheese −; (abt 2 oz)

0 Small Corn tortillas − (10 to 15); cut into fourths  
Vegetable oil; for frying  
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Preheat the fryer. Combine 1/4 cup of the  
vegetable oil and flour, in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir the mixture  
constantly for 5 to 6 minutes for a blond roux. Whisk in the milk and bring  
the liquid up to a boil. Season the liquid with salt and cayenne. Simmer the  
liquid for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the liquid is thick and coats the back  
of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheeses. Set the  
sauce aside. In a saute pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil. When the oil  
is hot, add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in handfuls of spinach  
at a time, until all the spinach is incorporated. Add the garlic and  
artichoke and saute for 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt and  
cayenne. Remove the vegetables from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl.  
Fold the Bechamel sauce into the vegetables. Turn the mixture into a baking  
pan. Bake the dip for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden−brown.  
Fry the tortilla chips, batches at a time, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until  
the chips are golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a  
paper−lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the chips with the  
dip. This recipe yields about 8 servings.
