How to make this best taco dip recipe?

You won't believe how easy this recipe is.

  • First, in a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning with a hand mixer until the dip is thoroughly combined and creamy.
  • If there are small clumps, then the cream cheese isn't soft enough. Just let it sit longer at room temperature so the cream cheese can soften more and then mix again.
  • Once it is mixed, pour into a serving platter.  I'm using a glass circle serving platter but you can make any work for this great recipe.  It's so versatile!
  • Next top with shredded cheese, then shredded lettuce, and finally diced tomatoes.

That is all you have to do to make this easy Taco Dip.  See…I told you it was extremely easy.  Now it's ready to serve with tortilla chips and devoured almost immediately!

I told you this taco dip recipe with cream cheese is easy to make.

Can you make in advance?

We like to prepare the taco dip with the bottom layer – Sour Cream, Cream Cheese and Taco Seasoning and then spread it in your pan. I then place this in my refrigerator.

Then once you are ready to serve top the cream cheese mixture with your favorite toppings,

We prefer to store in the refrigerator after about 2 hours sitting out on the counter. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator. We like to snack on it throughout the week.

Have you made homemade Taco Seasoning?

If you have not made your own taco seasoning yet, I hope you try it soon.  It's a lot easier than you think and tastes a lot better than the taco seasoning mix packets from the grocery store.

Homemade Taco Seasoning is a combination of seasonings that I bet you already have in your spice rack.

Making homemade taco seasoning is one of my all time favorite things to do.  It's simple and packed with tons of flavor.

What to serve with Taco Dip?

We love to serve this taco dip when we have get-togethers for game day or a family party. It usually is my go-to appetizer when I am attending a party.

This would be perfect served with a taco and a burrito bar. You can also make it with a taco soup. It is one of those recipes that is great served alone or with your favorite mexican food.

Our favorite to serve with this Taco Dip

  • Tortilla Chips
  • Pita Chips
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Soft Tortilla – You can even make a mini burrito

How long is Taco Dip good in the refrigerator?

This taco dip is best when eaten immediately. But if you do have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

After 3 days the vegetables tend to get a little soggy.

This cream cheese taco dip recipe tastes amazing!

You don't even have to wait for the flavors to combine because it taste great right after you mix it. The hardest part is waiting for the cream cheese to soften!

Here are more taco salad dip topping ideas!

You can definitely change this recipe or add more toppings to make this dip recipe your own. You can add in a layer of refried beans at the bottom of this recipe to create a delicious layered dip that everyone will love at your next party.

Also, this would be great topped with green peppers, black olives, green onions or your favorite salsa of choice. We like using medium heat salsa.

I hope to encourage you to add your favorite toppings (more tomatoes, olives or even avocado) to make this recipe work perfectly for your family and friends!
