One of my favorite appetizers of all time, this taco dip served with tortilla chips is easy to make and sure to be a crowd pleaser.

When I got married and my husband’s family threw a shower for us, the ladies were asked to bring a recipe to share with me. To my surprise, I got at least three recipe cards for the exact same Taco Dip. Family recipe? I think so! Since then I have had this dip at too many family gatherings to count, and have made it myself probably just as many times. It’s simple, and delicious, and I have found that every time I make it, someone is always asking for the recipe.

The base of the dip consists of cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. You will want to use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to combine the ingredients so that they are incorporated well. Use your favorite brand of taco seasoning, or go ahead and make it from scratch with my Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe.

Next you’ll need some shredded cheddar cheese. I always like to shred my own cheese because it tastes better!

Top with any of your favorite garnishes. I usually just add chopped lettuce and tomatoes, but feel free to add olives if you’d like. Sometimes I pile all of the toppings right on top, other times I arrange the garnishes off to the side.

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy! Be prepared, because this dip never lasts long! It is always a hit.

Note: Make sure the cream cheese is almost room temperature before using it, otherwise you may find you end up with a clumpy dip instead of a creamy one. Use any taco seasoning you like, French’s Taco seasoning happens to be our favorite as far as store brands go.
