Classic Taco Dip - Chilled

Classic Taco Dip - Chilled

Every taco dip is usually a little different. Hot/baked vs cold/chilled or beans vs. no beans. This classic taco dip is addictive! The recipe is no where near healthy. At this point, I have no desire to come up with a healthier kind. I have been making taco dip since college. I bring it to parties. I rarely make this dip at home because I could eat a whole pan nearly in one sitting...by myself! When I do make this (like tonight I had a craving), I try to make a smaller pan. Simple to make and delicious to eat! 

Ingredients:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

8 oz sour cream

1/4 package of taco seasoning

1/4 cup onion, sliced thinly and diced

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 

1 cup lettuce, shredded

Directions:

In small bowl (cereal bowl), mix together softened cream cheese and sour cream. Add the taco seasoning. Spread mixture in 8x8 pan. Layer onion, cheese, and lettuce on top. You may sprinkle a little taco seasoning onto for looks and additional flavor. Cover the pan. Chill in fridge for several hours before eating. May be prepared the night before. Serve with tortilla chips. 

Tips:

Recipe can be doubled for a 9x13 pan! 

Do a little finger test to the dip after the taco seasoning is added, see if it has even taco flavor. If not, add a little more. Flavor will come out once chilled. 

I soften my cream cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
