This Layered Taco Dip Recipe is a favorite appetizer every time it’s made! It’s an easy, no-bake dip with a creamy base layer to then add your favorite toppings.

This is another all-time favorite appetizer to take to get-togethers. My sister in law was the first to introduce me to it years and years ago.

Layered Taco Dip

Some people like to spread a layer of refined beans or ground beef to the bottom first. That is completely up to you. We usually don’t add meat or beans to our version.

You can make it your own with lots of additional toppings. After adding the cheese, you can also add lettuce, sliced scallions, olives, tomatoes…..really anything you like.

It is such an easy, extremely yummy appetizer!

Ingredients for Taco Dip

(1) 8 oz pack of cream cheese, softened (I use 1/3 less fat)

(1) 16 carton of sour cream (again, I use light)

1 pack of taco seasoning (or use 2 Tablespoons of this easy Taco Seasoning

8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese

8 oz jar of salsa Salsa

Optional toppings:

Shredded Lettuce
Scallions
Olives
Diced Tomatoes

How to Make Taco Dip

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning together in a bowl. You can just use a fork or you can use a hand mixer.

Spread mixture into a 9 x 12 dish

Spread a layer of salsa over top.

Sprinkle cheese in top of the salsa.

Add any other optional toppings that you prefer.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.

Serve with tortilla chips

    I made this last night, and it disappeared in not time. The kids LOVED it. They requested more, so today I will make some with the addition of re-fried beans on the bottom and a thin layer of freshly chopped hives over the creamed mixture. Thanks again!!
