Here we have something a little different. A Mexican layered taco dip that is a mega favorite amongst out family.

This recipe is one of those non-German favorites.

Why is it so popular here? Well, it has an abundance of immaculate flavors that all work together to make this delicious chip dip that is SO easy to make! 

Taco dip is a great take-along for barbecues, picnics, afternoon brunch, or game night! That's a big one for our family. We often pair our laughter-filled game nights with this dip.

Don't forget the nacho/ tortilla chips for dipping ... it is a dip after all. But, if you forget the chips or just want to eat it on its own, I'll admit, I love doing this too. I love this as a snack by itself. But if it's for a fancy occasion or get-together, I'll use chips ( That way, I don't look weird being the only one scooping it up with a spoon.)

This dip is a great choice because of its simplicity. It can be made with easy ingredients that you may already have on hand. Oh, and it doesn't have to be cooked or heated up. That means no waiting by the oven, waiting and waiting, being tempted by the yummy smells.


Every step along the way is an easy one.

First, make your base using only three ingredients.

Next, scoop the base into the pan, add the lid and place in the fridge.
