5-Ingredient taco dip

Oh, we love chips and dips around here. It usually doesn’t take long for a bowl of salsa or queso or guacamole to get polished off by my voracious crew!

The next favorite on the list is this Taco Dip! It’s hearty, it’s simple, and it’s super affordable too!

Add this to the list for your next potluck…or Taco Tuesday night at your house 🙂

Here’s what we need to make this amazing taco dip…

5 ingredient taco dip

Combine the beans, cream cheese and sour cream.

(This is a stand mixer bowl.)

Combine together and stir in the cheese, salsa and taco seasoning.

Then, transfer the dip into an oven-safe bowl.

 

Now, top with remaining cheese.

Now, top with remaining cheese.

Bake in the oven, as directed.

Then, serve with your favorite chips (or other dippers – veggie crudites would be great for this too!)
