Taco dip - my speciality

I don't think any two people make a taco dip the same. Each one I've tasted, tastes a little different. This is my special recipe, a family favorite for a number of years. Let me know what you think.


1 (8-ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese, softened

1 C sour cream

1/2 pound ground hamburger

1 package taco seasoning mix (your favorite brand)

1 can mild green chili

1 jar extra chunky salsa (about 2 cups) use more if needed

2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce

2 cups shredded taco or mexican cheese

1 tomato chopped

1 cup chopped green onions

2 (2-ounce) cans sliced black olives

large bag of dipper taco chips

1. Brown ground beef until well done. Drain fat. Stir in taco seasoning and following directions on package.

2. Put green chili and 2-3 cups of salsa in a strainer to get rid of excess juices.

3. In a bowl combine soften cream cheese, sour cream and drained salsa/green chili mixture . Stir until well blended.

4. Spread cream cheese mixture on a large flat dish. I use a round glass plate that is around 17 inches across.

5. Spread lettuce all over the top; followed by cheese. Then top with taco meat, olives, tomatoes and green onions.

6. Chill before serving
