Notes

  • You can easily make this taco dip in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a day in before serving.
  • I don't recommend freezing this dip.
  • Serve with whatever chips and veggies you like.
  • Feel free to add extra layers with your favorite dips, veggies, and taco toppings.
  • If you're feeding a large crowd I recommend doubling the recipe!
Storage: Store 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 and assemble just before serving.
