What’s in this Taco Dip Recipe?
Layered Taco Dip is such a quick and easy recipe that’s full of flavor and is always a crowd favorite. You will not disappoint your party guests with this cheesy dip recipe and you only need five ingredients to make it!
Cream Cheese: Forms the base of our dip. It’s rich, creamy, and tangy! Salsa: Mixes with the cream cheese to create a creamy, Mexican-inspired dip. Lettuce: Adds crunch to the dip. I recommend iceberg lettuce because it stays crunchy for the longest. Cheese: Makes the dip salty and cheesy. I used cheddar cheese, but Mexican blend or Monterey jack would also work. Tomatoes: Add a pop of freshness.
Pro Tip: Top with taco sauce or hot sauce if you’d like to add a spicy kick to your dip.
Variations on Layered Taco Dip
The easiest way to change up this dip is to add an extra layer between the cream cheese and the toppings. Some favorites include guacamole, refried beans, and ground beef, chicken, or turkey. If you’d like to go all out you can add leftover chili as one of the layers. If you do that, you’ll probably want to serve it hot, so heat it in the oven until piping hot all the way through then add the lettuce and tomatoes on top to keep the delicious textures!
How to Store
Store leftover taco dip in an airtight container for up to 1 day fully assembled. You can store the cream cheese mixture separately from the toppings for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving. I do not recommend freezing this dip.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve this dip with tortilla chips, but you can use any kind of chip you prefer. You can also serve it with crackers or some veggie sticks such as sliced carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
