Step #12 Transfer to a cooling rack.
Step #13 Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Step #14 MAKE THE DIP:.
Step #15 In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over a medium-low flame.
Step #16 Add the scallions & red pepper & cook this until soft, about 7-10 mins.
Step #17 Add the garlic & continue 1 min longer.
Step #18 Remove from heat amd let cool slightly in the saute pan.
Step #19 Stir in the lime zest, juice & sour cream; salt & pepper.
Step #20 If using, now add the chiles or crushed red pepper.
