Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 16 oz sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning (or one 1 oz store-bought packet)

Toppings

  • 1 ½ cups chopped lettuce
  • 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers or sliced jalapeños
  • 1/3 cup sliced olives
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings

  • Guacamole
  • Sour cream
  • Corn

To Serve

  • Yellow corn tortilla chips or baked tortilla chips
  • Mushroom quesadillas or perfect cheese quesadillas

Instructions

  1. Soften Cream Cheese:

    Make sure to soften the cream cheese before beating; this helps the mixture become smooth faster and easier to blend.

  2. Mix Ingredients:

    Using an electric mixer, combine the sour cream or Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and homemade taco seasoning. Blend until well combined and creamy.

  3. Spread Mixture:

    Transfer the blended mixture into a 9- to 10-inch pie dish and spread it into an even layer.

  4. Add Toppings:

    Top the creamy base evenly with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers or jalapeños, sliced olives, and shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of any desired toppings to sprinkle over the cheese for presentation.

  5. Serve:

    Serve the taco dip immediately with baked or yellow corn tortilla chips. Alternatively, cover the dip and refrigerate it until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to soften cream cheese fully for a smooth dip texture.
  • Use either sour cream or Greek yogurt depending on your preference for tanginess and health.
  • Homemade taco seasoning can be used as a healthier alternative to store-bought packets.
  • The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated but is best served fresh.
  • Optional toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and corn can add extra flavor and texture if desired.
  • Served best with baked tortilla chips or classic yellow corn tortilla chips for crunch.
