Our Taco Dip is cool, creamy and flavored with all the toppings on your favorite taco or taco salad. It’s not overly spiced or heavy, thanks to its lack of meat, which allows the vegetables and creamy base to shine. This worked great with Fritos Scoops, but it’d also be great on any tortilla chip or fresh veggie slices. Or, don’t use it as a dip at all and serve it as a side for grilled meat or topping for your next taco night. Make sure the cream cheese is well softened in order to mix together a smooth dip.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream (about 12 oz.)
• 1(1-oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix
• 1(15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 cup chopped avocado (from 1 [5-oz.] avocado)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1(2.25-oz) can sliced black olives, drained (about 1/2 cup)
• 3 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeño chiles, drained
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• Corn chips (such as Fritos Scoops), for serving

How to Make It

Stir together cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix in a medium bowl until smooth.

Toss together avocado, lime juice, and salt; sprinkle over tomato layer. Top with sliced olives, chopped pickled jalapeños, and cilantro.
