Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (the standard "brick")
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
  • 4 ounces taco sauce (I like La Victoria Red, Medium)
  • 2 cups chopped or shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 cups shredded taco cheese or 2 cups cheddar cheese

Method

  • In a medium bowl, microwave cream cheese just to soften.
  • Add sour cream and taco seasoning mix to softened cream cheese. Blend the mixture well and try to get out all the lumps. Using an electric mixer makes it a much easier task, but I usually just stir it manually.
  • Spread mixture into the bottom of an inch-deep baking sheet.
  • Pour taco sauce over the top, spreading it lightly with the bottom of a spoon to cover entire mixture.
  • Top with remaining ingredients. The order I use is: lettuce, tomato, onion, then cheese. Of course, you can do what you want but it looks really nice when the cheese is on the very top.
