Taco Dip
Taco Dip layers a seasoned blend of sour cream and mayonnaise with shredded lettuce, tomato, and cheddar cheese. The creamy base carries the taco seasoning flavor, while fresh vegetables and cheese add texture and mild sharpness. Chilling before serving lets the flavors meld, making it a versatile appetizer or party dip.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1½ cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 store-bought packet, homemade
- lettuce shredded
- 1 tomato chopped
- cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and taco seasoning until thoroughly blended.
- Spread in a square casserole dish. Top with the shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and shredded cheese. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dip.
- Replace mayonnaise with room-temperature cream cheese if you prefer more tang and less mayo flavor.
- Enhance topping variety with olives, jalapenos, guacamole, salsa, or beans for additional texture and taste.
- Store covered in refrigerator and consume within 3 days for freshness and safety.
- Do not leave the dip out at room temperature longer than 2 hours due to dairy ingredients.
- You can prepare the dip up to 3 days ahead and keep refrigerated before serving.
