I had a family member ask me, "What cuisine or food would I eat for the rest of my life if I was forced to choose?" I stalled, thinking I have two real loves: Italian and Mexican. I can't get enough of pizza and pasta, but I also know that I could eat quesadillas and tacos everyday and never get sick of them. My love for Mexican food is strong, and whenever I have the opportunity to make quesadillas, fajitas, or tacos, I go for it. This four layer taco dip is literally a taco in dip form and is the perfect crowd pleaser. Game day snacks, dinner, lunch, appetizer for a girls night, this taco dip is versatile and travels well, too. Grab your favorite type of chips and get ready for the best tasting taco dip you'll eat.
The origin of taco dip dates back to the 80s, and was first named Seven Layer Taco Dip in Family Circle magazine. Since then, there have been a bevy of varieties, numerous layers, and alterations to this beloved dip. My version of a taco dip is only four layers: sour cream, salsa, ground beef (or turkey), and shredded Mexican cheese. This dip is not typically baked in the oven either, it's meant to be a dip served as is. No frills, no fancy names, just a good ol' taco dip waiting for you to enjoy.
With Super Bowl, and other events, around the corner, dips are the perfect appetizer! You can make this one, and feed for a few days off one container of this taco dip. I've been making this taco dip for Super Bowl for years, and it's always a hit with my friends. I know it will be for yours too!
This is the best taco dip you will ever have. Believe me. No frills, four layers of utter deliciousness, waiting for you at the snack table on game day, or for dinner. Whichever comes first. Grab some scoops and dig in!
