How to Make Taco Dip

You won’t believe how easy this recipe is.

• Step 1 – First, in a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream and add tablespoons taco seasoning with a hand mixer until the dip is thoroughly combined and creamy.

• Step 2 – If there are small clumps, then the cream cheese isn’t soft enough. Just let it sit longer at room temperature so the cream cheese can soften more and then blend again.

• Step 3 – Once it is mixed, pour into a serving platter.  I’m using a glass circle serving platter but you can make any work for this great recipe.  It’s so versatile!

• Step 4 – Next sprinkle with shredded cheese, then shredded lettuce, and finally diced tomatoes.

• Step 5 – Serve layered taco dip with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Combine Ingredients – Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature as it will combine easily with the sour cream and seasoning.
• Add your favorite toppings – We added cheese, lettuce, and diced tomatoes. You can easily add what you want.
• Taco Seasoning – You can use store bought taco seasoning or make your own.
