❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love this recipe’s versatility, which makes it a great addition to any party. If you have a few picky guests, you can even add toppings to half the pan and leave them off the other half. This is a wonderful cold dip on a hot day!

SWAPS AND ADDITIONS

We love the taco seasoning mixed with the cream cheese mixture. You can also add a little ranch seasoning. You can add a layer of black beans, switch out the black olives for green, or leave them off altogether. You can also add a layer of guacamole if you want instead of an avocado or leave that off, too. Looking for a little spice? Add jalapenos or hot salsa. Some people like to top the dip with lettuce before serving.

CAN I ADD MEAT?

Yes, you can add a layer of meat. Make ground beef with taco seasoning and add that as a layer, or take cooked chicken and chop it into small pieces and add that, too.

⭐TIP

This dip is best served cold, so we like to make it, put it in the refrigerator for an hour, and then enjoy it. It’s terrific with tortilla chips or Frito scoops.
