A Party Dip in Minutes

This is definitely an easy dip recipe. Taco dip is the perfect game day snack, great for guests, gatherings and parties. It’s a favorite appetizer almost any time.

This is a little bit of a simpler and quicker version of a 7 layer dip and it’s well loved by everyone.

Taco Dip Ingredients

The creamy layer of this taco dip recipe is a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning (option: add in a tablespoon of lime juice). Use homemade seasoning or a store-bought packet. Substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream if you’d like.

The taco dip toppings can be anything and everything you put on your usual ground beef tacos.

Try shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, green or red onions, cilantro, black olives, pico de Gallo, jalapenos, black beans, or avocado or dollops of guacamole.

Serve taco dip with tortilla chips, baked tortillas, pita bread, crackers, or even fresh vegetables!

DIP TIP:  We love to use a hand mixer for any dip with cream cheese. This adds air to the mixture and makes it fluffier and easier to scoop so your chips don’t break when you dip!

How to Make Taco Dip

  • Mix the Base – Mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning with a hand mixer per the recipe below.
  • Chill – Spread into a small dish or a pie plate and chill.
  • Top & Serve – Sprinkle with your favorite toppings and serve.

You can even change up this no meat taco dip by adding lean ground beef taco meat on top of the creamy layer.

This taco dip recipe is prepared in about 5 minutes. Easy right?!

Pro Dip Tips

  • Soften cream cheese before blending (this can be done in the microwave at 60% power for about 40 seconds or until soft).
  • Make up to 2 days ahead and chill. Top just before serving.
  • Low fat or reduced-fat products do work well in this recipe.
  • Make individual servings in mini bowls or cups (with a spoon if needed).
  • To make sure the cream cheese is perfectly dippable and scoopable beat the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy.

A hand mixer works perfectly with both cold dips (like Bacon Cheddar Dip) or hot dips like our favorite Jalapeno Popper Dip.
