Easy Taco Dip

Taco dip originated in Mexico and it is a meal in itself.   Those nibblers in your party will enjoy this as well.  .  When served with corn chips or tortilla chips taco dip makes a good appetizer for any get together.  This taco dip is less fattening as I haven’t used sour cream in it.  I have used hung yogurt which is a healthy alternative.  This dip is very easy to make. Since I use salsa to perk it up, guests don’t shy away from taking second and third helpings till all is gone.

Ingredients:

1 cup(8 oz) cream cheese,  1 cup hung yogurt or fat free sour cream, 2 cups salsa, 1 tsp chives, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp seasoned salt, 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, 2 large tomatoes diced, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup black olives

Method:

Combine cream cheese, hung yogurt, salsa, spices and lemon juice and mix well with an egg beater.

Spread on the bottom of the large shallow glass dish.

Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and black olives.

Serve with baked tortilla chips.

 Note: You can put taco seasoning instead of other spices and lemon juice.
