Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or your choice)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Jalapeños (optional)
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a serving platter or dish.
- Pour the salsa over the cream cheese layer and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the salsa layer.
- Add the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions on top.
- For extra spice, add sliced jalapeños.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- To prevent the dip from becoming watery, use thick salsa and drain any excess liquid.
- You can make this dip ahead of time; just add the lettuce and jalapeños just before serving.
- If you want a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or use spicy taco seasoning.
- For a heartier option, add cooked ground beef or shredded chicken.
- For a healthier version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheese.
