Layered Taco Dip

Health, Fitness, and Food Blog, Recipes, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Craving Mexican tonight, but want something low calorie?? Give my Layered Taco Dip a try. We had this last night for dinner, and it was GREAT! This dish is great because you can use it as an appetizer, as a meal, or even a great dish to bring to a party! My favorite part is it can be low carb, and vegetarian… OR you can add in some hamburger or chicken meat and serve it with tortilla chips!

So for the Vegetarian Version:

Omit the meat. Instead of cooking the meat with the Taco Seasoning, mix the Taco seasoning in with the Light or Low Fat Sour Cream.

For Low Carb:

Serve the Taco Dip on a Lettuce Leaf or just eat it as is!

Other options:

Instead of using Hamburger meat, try using either Ground Turkey meat, or diced Chicken. If you do not like particularly spicy food, either cut the amount of jalapeños in half, or omit completely. Use your favorite salsa on the side to add even more yummy flavor to this simple Mexican dish!

Here is the full recipe:

Ingredients:

1 lb Ground Hamburger or Turkey Meat

1 envelope Taco Seasoning (I use Old El Paso)

8oz Light Sour Cream

1 16oz can Refried beans

1/2- 1 cup sliced pickled Jalapeños 

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

1 cup Lettuce, shredded

1 Large Tomato, diced

1/2 cup Onion, diced

Instructions:

1- Cook hamburger meat in a skillet until cooked through. Add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water, and cook on low for another 10 minutes. 

2- On a large plate, spread refried beans, topped with a layer of sour cream. Add cooked hamburger meat followed by a layer of jalapeños.

3-Add a layer of mixed cheese (1 1/2 cup total), followed by a layer of each lettuce, tomato, and onions. Top off with final 1/2 cup of cheese, and any leftover jalapeños. 

4- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool, depending on preference!

*Amount of jalapeños will vary depending on your spice preference. **If not using meat, mix taco seasoning into sour cream!
