# How To Make It:

01 - Set the air fryer to 350°F and allow it to reach temperature.
02 - Slice each lumpia wrapper into four strips or triangles, then brush lightly with vegetable oil, sprinkling with salt and optional garlic powder.
03 - Arrange the wrapper pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crisp. Work in batches if necessary. Allow chips to cool.
04 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
05 - Fold in shredded chicken, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
06 - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and present immediately alongside the cooled lumpia chips. Refrigerate leftover dip if not serving right away.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Lumpia wrappers crisp up lighter and thinner than tortilla chips, with an addictive crunch that doesnt quit
  • The dip tastes like the inside of a really good chicken empanada, creamy and savory with just enough tang
  • You can make the dip ahead and fry the chips in minutes when guests arrive
  • Its a clever way to use up leftover chicken or wrappers you bought for another recipe
02 -
  • Dont stack the wrapper pieces in the air fryer or theyll stick together and fry unevenly, patience with batches pays off
  • Let the chips cool completely before serving, they firm up as they sit and lose that slightly chewy center
  • If your dip tastes flat, add more lemon juice or a pinch of salt, the richness can dull the seasoning
  • Soften the cream cheese fully or youll end up with tiny white chunks no matter how long you stir
03 -
  • Use kitchen scissors instead of a knife to cut the wrappers, its faster and you get cleaner edges without tearing
  • If you dont have an air fryer, bake the chips at 350°F for six to eight minutes, flipping once, until golden
  • Taste the dip before adding all the salt, especially if your chicken is pre-seasoned or from a rotisserie
  • For a spicier kick, stir in a teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper
