Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to broil. Place the bell peppers on a large baking sheet and broil, turning, until blackened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool.
Step 2
• While the peppers are cooling, prepare the creamy garlic-lime dip. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, coriander, zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of water to thin to the desired consistency.
Step 3
• Peel the peppers, remove the stems, and seeds. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Add the tomatoes, hot pepper, onion, lime juice, cumin, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve with tortilla chips.
