So, you've been asked to bring an appetizer to your bestie's Super Bowl party. In preparation for the gathering, you're likely to be on the hunt for a recipe that comes together quickly, but still tastes amazing. Buffalo wings could be good, but prepping those require the kind of effort you just don't feel like putting in right now. And yeah, everyone would probably gobble up an ungodly number of veggie kebabs, but do you really want to spend an hour sticking toothpicks in every single one? This is where a good taco dip comes in to save you from your dilemma: it always delivers on everything you'd demand from an entertaining appetizer. It's so easy, takes approximately one second to make (ok, that's a little bit of an exaggeration), looks colorful and delicious, and tastes divine. Here's everything you need to know about making a taco dip recipe that's gonna make jaws drop, even with the big game on.
What is taco dip?
A classic taco dip is made from mixing together cream cheese or sour cream (your choice), and taco seasoning. You can use a store-bought taco seasoning, or make your own to spice things up.
What are the best ingredients for a taco dip?
Sour cream or cream cheese, taco seasoning, cheddar or jack cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, sliced black olives, shredded lettuce and bell peppers all pair well with taco dip. Of course, you'll want some corn chips to dip with!
How can I personalize my taco dip recipe?
You can personalize your taco dip recipe by adding or subtracting spice with the amount of taco seasoning you mix in the base. A cream cheese base will produce a thicker taco dip, while sour cream will make a thinner one. You can also get creative with adding toppings you love, like avocado or a protein of your choice to make it even heartier, or omitting the ones you don't.
Does it take a long time to make taco dip?
Taco dip only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to make. This easy, last-minute recipe is perfect to make for birthday gatherings, Super Bowl parties, or if you're just craving some spice.
