Vicki's Layered Taco Dip Recipe

Yum

This layered taco dip recipe is an easy addition to a party buffet of international foods. I've had all different types of foods together when putting together such a feast. I include quick German recipes of course, and some quick Mexican recipes, such as this taco dip. In fact this is a favorite, which is great because it's so easy!

This recipe is an OOPS on this German website. It's here, simply because I like it and it fits as an International dish. In fact, it's become one of Oma's Non German Favorites! My daughter-in-love, Vicki, first introduced me to this at a New Year's Eve party. Since then, I often ask her to bring it with her when we have a potluck.

Vicki's Layered Taco Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 envelope taco seasoning mix
• about 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar)
• about 4 cups lettuce (shredded)
• 2 - 3 tomatoes, diced
• tortilla chips

Instructions:

• In small bowl, thoroughly mix cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning.
• Cover and put in fridge - preferably overnight.
• Spread in serving dish (such as a 9 X 12 inch pan).
• Sprinkle with tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

Hints:

• Extra layers can be added, such as diced peppers, diced onion, or bacon.
• Want more meat. Brown 1 lb ground beef and season with taco seasoning. Cook about 5 minutes until done. Sprinkle this on top of the cream layer.
• Use Monterrey Jack cheese for a more traditional taste.

You may be looking for brunch menu ideas or a "take-along" to a potluck.

This dip is so good. Take it along, together with some tortilla chips, and you'll make everyone happy.

Leftovers are good. But we rarely have any.

This is a favorite with the granddaughter and, actually, everyone else. We gather around dish and dip till it's gone!

There are so many variations for this. I've used low-fat sour cream and low-fat cheddar. Still good! You can add a layer of salsa, some drained and sliced black olives, even some chopped green onions.

Be creative.
