I got this from the HEB website and really liked them. Make a bunch and reheat later on a cookie sheet. You can serve with just plain sour cream, Ranch dressing or with the suggested flavored sour cream.

Riff, this recipe is fantastic! Anyone who loves fried okra will find this one an absolute delight. I made this last night with about a pound of fresh okra pods. (courtesy of my neighbor!) Fried them in my deep fryer instead of in a skillet. They came out crispy and nicely browned with a perfect tex-mex seasoning. We did sprinkle a little salt on them after frying. The dip was great! In the words of my DH, "It just don't get any better than this."
