Taco Dip

I love appetizers. I could make many a meal out of them. Specifically, I love dip. And I love any excuse to make dip. Friends coming over? Football or hockey game on? Watching a movie? Dip it is! I have many favorites and always love trying new varieties when out to eat or when I come across a new recipe, but a few are tried and true that I grew to love when I was younger. This is one of those recipes. It fueled the obsession I had with tacos as a kid. Anything that looked or tasted like a taco, I was all over. This dip mostly showed up at summer parties, so it’s a great option if you need a 4th of July appetizer this weekend, but like I said, any day is a good day for dip! (Just like it’s always a great day for hockey!)

The dip itself is a great base that you can top with whatever your favorite taco-themed ingredients are. I love the simplicity of lettuce, tomato and cheese, but you could throw on black beans, corn, green chilies, whatever your heart desires. My favorite entertaining recipes are those that are insanely simple and very adaptable, both of which are important when you’re prepping for a party. Time saved is gold! So get out one bowl, one spoon, and whip this up for the weekend.
