Taco Dip Recipe

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: When scooping with the tortilla chips, be sure to dip down to the bottom layer. This dip may be made several days in advance, but do not top with the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and fried onions until 2 hours prior to serving for peak texture.

Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
½ cup mild salsa
1 (1-ounce) packet mild taco seasoning mix
1 (1-ounce) packet onion soup mix
4 cups shredded lettuce
3 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup canned French fried onions, coarsely crushed, optional

Instructions
1. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning mix and onion soup mix in a medium bowl. Blend well with a mixer at low speed.
2. Spoon into a shallow bowl or 13-by-9-inch baking dish and smooth top. Sprinkle lettuce over cream cheese mixture. Top with cheese and tomatoes. For added crunch, add French fried onions to the top before serving, if using. Serve with tortilla chips. Serves 12 to 14.
