Notes
Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
Sour Cream: You can use full fat or reduced fat
Cream Cheese: You can use full fat or reduced fat but I recommend using a block rather than a spreadable cream cheese. Allow it to soften so you don’t end up with any clumps of cheese in your dip.
Mexican-Blend Shredded Cheese: You could also use colby jack, monterey jack or cotija cheese
Refried Beans: Any brand will do. I use canned but you can also use homemade.
Salsa: Again, any brand will do. I prefer to use a jarred salsa as fresh salsa has too much moisture.
Taco Seasoning: Siete is my favorite brand!
Cilantro: Cilantro is optional but it adds a beautiful pop of color and fresh flavor to the top of the dip!
Tortilla Chips: For serving
You can use low fat cream cheese or sour cream but for a truly creamy and delicious dip, just go for the full fat.
Feel free to spice this dip up to your liking. You can use a hot salsa, spicy taco seasoning, add some hot sauce or add jalapeno for some extra kick.
