Tips:
- Customize your Taco Dip with additional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, black olives, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
- Make this dip ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve. It’s even tastier the next day once the flavors have had time to meld together.
- Serve leftovers, if any, on top of nachos or baked potatoes for a delicious twist on classic dishes.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with cooked and seasoned black beans or your favorite meat alternative.
- Get creative with presentation by serving individual portions of Taco Dip in small Mason jars or hollowed-out bell peppers for a fun and festive touch to your table spread.
