Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayo
- 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce or salad leaves - finely chopped
- 4 roma tomatoes seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup olives sliced
- 2 Sliced Jalapenos optional
- 1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar or Mexican cheese - finely grated
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- corn chips for serving
Instructions
- Add softened cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream to a large bowl and stir or whisk until well combined and free of lumps.
- Add taco seasoning and stir well.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a 9-inch dip serving dish.
- Top the mixture with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, olives, and jalapenos, and finally, sprinkle with shredded cheddar and cotija cheese.
- Garnish with green onions and serve.
Notes
- Make the taco dip a few hours ahead and store it in the fridge. This way, the taco seasoning melds with the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo, making the creamy layer more flavorful. As a trick, to keep the other toppings fresh, make the creamy layer, chill it for a few hours, and when ready to serve, add the rest of the toppings.
- I grate the cheese myself because pre-shredded and grated cheese has additives to keep it from clumping.
