Ingredients

8 oz. cream cheese, softened* $1.85
1 cup sour cream $1.12
2 Tbsp taco seasoning** $0.59
1/4 cup salsa $0.42

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, and salsa.
Using a hand mixer blend all the ingredients together until completely smooth and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Add the taco dip to a serving dish and top with your favorite toppings. I topped mine with some grape tomatoes, sliced jalapeño, and sliced green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

*Make sure your cream cheese is softened so the ingredients can blend easily and smoothly.

**You can use our homemade taco seasoning recipe or a store-bought taco seasoning packet. The store-bought packets are about 3 Tbsp of seasoning mix. You can use the entire packet for a more intense flavor or measure out 2 Tbsps and save the rest for later. I tested this recipe with 2 Tbsp of seasoning mix vs. the entire seasoning packet, and 2 Tbsp was definitely the way to go!
