How to make Taco Dip?
Making this dish is super simple.
- Start by mixing cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium until fluffy.
- Then, add sour cream and taco seasoning, and properly mix to combine.
- Spread the mixture into the desired dish. Feel free to use any kind and any size.
- Lastly, top it with some desired toppings as suggested above, and serve right away.
Can you make it in advance?
Yes. Although I prefer to make it fresh on the spot since it is so quick and easy, you can also make it ahead. Especially, if you are short on time and have other things to prepare. Simply, assemble the dip, and then wrap with plastic, and store in the refrigerator.
Best to serve it within one to two days.
How many calories are in Taco Dip?
This totally depends on the ingredient list. However, an average serving will have between 55 to 65 calories.
Recipe Tips:
- I highly recommend beating the cream cheese with a mixer. Because you want to have a dippable mixture, with a nice, fluffy and soft texture. Therefore, it is essential to beat it properly. This way, when you dip into it, the tortilla does not break! 😥
- This recipe is highly versatile and can be made with other ingredients. Feel free to add diced tomatoes, beans, jalapeno, corn, olives, diced onions, etc to it.
- If you want to make it with meat, simply add some shredded chicken or cubed ham.
- Being a Mexican inspired recipe, I also suggest using some cilantro. If you do like cilantro, this fresh element really elevates this simple dish.
