Estimated Calories: 235
Ingredients
- 12 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (1-ounce packet) taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto a plate. Make a small lip around the edges (this will help keep the salsa from running down the sides - or you can just spread it in a pie plate or a dish with sides).
- Spread the salsa on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and green onions.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Recipe Notes
- If you can't get whipped cream cheese, whip up regular cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fluffy. Whipped cream cheese keeps the dip soft and scoopable.
- You can add additional toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, olives, black beans, corn, or jalapenos. If making the dip ahead of time, add the toppings right before serving so that everything is fresh and beautiful!
- When serving, only leave out for a maximum of two hours (keep chilled if possible). If it's really hot out, I wouldn't leave it out more than an hour.
- Refrigerate any leftovers. Fresh dip should last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
