Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 1.25 oz. package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup chunky mild salsa
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 2.25 oz. can sliced black olives, drained

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning.
  • Stir in chunky salsa to taco dip mixture, mix until combined.
  • Spread taco dip mixture onto a 9" inch pie dish or you can add it to a bowl. Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes, and black olives.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or doritos.

Notes

  • Add some meat. You can make taco dip with ground beef or shredded chicken or any meat you’d like to add, really! Prep your meat beforehand and mix it all in.
  • Make it spicy. If you like things on the spicy side you can use spicy versions of the taco seasoning and salsa or even add some chopped jalapeños.
  • Let your cream cheese soften. It makes mixing so much easier and also turns out creamier!
  • Use low-fat dairy. Low-fat or reduced-fat sour cream, cream cheese, and shredded cheese all work well when making this dip.
  • Store. Taco dip is best enjoyed freshly made once the toppings are added. If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
