Have you made your own Taco Seasoning yet?
If you have not made your own taco seasoning yet, I hope you try it soon. It’s a lot easier than you think and tastes a lot better than the taco seasoning mix packets from the grocery store.
Homemade Taco Seasoning is a combination of seasonings that I bet you already have in your spice rack.
Making homemade taco seasoning is one of my all time favorite things to do. It’s simple and packed with tons of flavor.
Also, making this seasoning instead of purchasing the packets saves my family money and I love knowing exactly what’s in the food that I’m serving my family.
How to make this best taco dip recipe?
You won’t believe how easy this recipe is!
First, in a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning with a hand mixer until the dip is thoroughly combined and creamy.
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 mix again.
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!
Next top with shredded cheese, then shredded lettuce, and finally diced tomatoes.
That’s it! See…I told you it was extremely easy. Now it’s ready to serve with tortilla chips and devoured almost immediately!
This easy taco dip recipe tastes amazing!
I told you this taco dip recipe with cream cheese is easy to make.
You don’t even have to wait for the flavors to combine because it taste great right after you mix it. The hardest part is waiting for the cream cheese to soften!

What is your home made taco seasoning?
Carrie says
Sorry! I just added the link to the post – https://www.eatingonadime.com/how-to-make-homemade-taco-seasoning/
Betsy Rawlins says
I would spread a can of refried beans in the bottom of the dish before adding the mixed spread. Think it would give it a more solid base and a little extra taste.
Anna Sticken says

Similar to mine, but I add a 1/4 c miracle whip to my base. Try it and see what you think. Thanks for the recipes
Carrie says

Amanda says
I use a can of green chilies instead of lettuce. It’s not spicy and everyone loves it
Carrie says
Great idea!
Kathy says
Add refried beans, a layer of guacamole, a layer of salsa, some black olives and green onions and you have a favorite dip we use here all the time.
Carrie says
Yum! That sounds delicious Kathy! 🙂
Trc says
Instead of cream cheese, mash one avocado, add the taco seasoning mix well ( by hand is fine ) then add the sour cream.
Top with diced tomato, grated cheese & finely slices shallots ( green onions) Delicious
Carrie says
Sound delicious!
Selma says
I make this but I put a layer of refried beans in the bottom and add sliced black olives to the top.
