Why this Recipe Works

Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor – A blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning creates a rich, creamy base packed with classic taco flavor.

No Cooking Required – This quick and easy dip comes together in minutes, making it perfect for busy days and last-minute gatherings.

Great for Parties and Game Day – It’s easy to make ahead, serves a crowd, and is always one of the first appetizers to disappear.

Customizable Toppings – I love that you can easily add olives, green onions, jalapenos, avocado, or other favorite taco toppings to make it your own!

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (8 oz) Sour Cream – Adds a cool, creamy texture and a tangy flavor that forms the base of the dip.

1 (8 oz) Cream Cheese (Softened) – Creates a rich, smooth foundation and helps the dip hold its shape.

1 packet (1 oz) McCormick Mild Taco Seasoning – Provides classic taco flavor with a blend of savory spices and mild heat.

Shredded Cheese – Adds a cheesy, salty layer that compliments the creamy base. Cheddar is a popular choice.

Shredded Lettuce – Brings freshness and a crisp texture to the dip.

Diced Tomato – Adds juicy, vibrant flavor and color for a fresh taco-inspired topping.

How to Make the Best Taco Dip

Mix together 1 (8 oz) sour cream, 1 (8 oz) softened cream cheese, and 1 packet (1 oz) McCormick Mild Taco Seasoning.

Spread onto plate or into desired container. Then sprinkle with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and any other toppings you’d like!

Mix-In Additional Shredded Cheese – I like to mix extra shredded cheese into the taco dip mixture before spreading onto the plate. I just eyeball the amount.

Make It Ahead – You can easily make this dip ahead of time, except I would wait until right before serving to put the toppings on. If you put the lettuce on the day before, it gets brown and soggy.

Customize the Toppings – Any taco toppings of your choice work on this dip.

Serve with Sturdy Chips – Thick tortilla chips work best for scooping up the creamy layers without breaking. Pretzels work, too!
