Tips for Making Taco Dips

If you are making the dip the night before, hold off adding the iceberg lettuce. It doesn’t stay crispy.

Add as many or as few toppings as you like. If you don’t like too much heat, you’ll want to use ½ a package of taco seasoning.

Adding the juice of half a lime adds a nice bit of tang.

If you want to reduce the calories for this dip. Simply swap use light cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese.

You can also substitute sour cream with Chobani Greek Yogurt. I didn’t have it on hand when I made this recipe, but I’ve used it quite a bit lately.

Chobani has a convenient squeezable Greek yogurt that is triple strained and therefore super thick and creamy, making it taste as good as sour cream. Best of all it has about 75% less fat than regular sour cream.

Cheese. I strongly recommend using freshly shredded cheese. It’s cheaper, and it doesn’t have any of the fillers you’ll typically find in store-bought pre-shredded cheeses.
