What is taco dip?
Taco dip is a Mexican-inspired layered dip focused on a taco-spiced creamy layer at the bottom. It’s different from a seven layer dip in this way: seven layer dip usually begins with beans and includes avocado. Taco dip uses a creamy layer as the base and truly tastes like an American-style taco! Bottom line: it’s crazy good.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Serving Suggestions
This appetizer was made for sharing and it’s perfect for tailgating and game days. I like to keep things simple and serve the dip with tortilla chips, but you could also serve it with crudite, breadsticks and crackers if you wish.
Chef’s Tips
You can combine the cream cheese and sour cream by hand or in a stand mixer on a low speed. You can use a low fat cream cheese and sour cream to reduce the calories and fat content if you wish. Top with fresh cilantro and jalapeños for more flavor.
