Best-Ever Taco Dip

Recipe Description

Party style Best-Ever Taco Dip and all the toppings. Because loaded dip is just better. Simple, ready in just 5 minutes, and so cheesy, this dip is perfect for a family dinner, or entertaining for holidays like Cinco de Mayo. 

This delicious Mexican-inspired dip is simple to make. Start by making the taco-seasoned cheesy layer. You will need two blocks of cream cheese, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, lime juice, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. I like to use a hand mixer for this dip. Using a hand mixer adds air to the cream cheese and sour cream base and makes the dip light, fluffy, and easy to scoop. Sprinkle with the toppings and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

To make the Best-Ever Taco Dip, you will need the following ingredients:
