Party foods and appetizers are my absolute favorite!

You can't go wrong sampling little or big bites of each one and since most are easy to prepare, it makes it easy to make a lot of different appetizers and have a good variety available.

Today's Taco Dip is an oldie, but goodie! This recipe has been made many times over the years. Most recently, I shared it with some co-workers at the non profit I used to work at. They all loved it, and had quite a few servings each.

I usually bring them my blogging leftovers, or they stop by the house and pick them up.

As you can imagine, all these delicious foods are in high demand and I don't have much trouble giving them away.

I love the creamy salsa mixture in this dip, and the selection of toppings goes perfectly with the seasonings in the salsa mix.

What is in Amazing Taco Dip?

  • Cream Cheese: It's been around since the 1800's and was produced mostly in Philadelphia. You can use store bought like I did or homemade. I love the versatility, and that you can use it in sweet or savory recipes. This recipe uses only half the package, but you can store it in the fridge opened for up to 2 weeks before it spoils.
  • Cumin: Part of the parsley family and native to southwestern Asia including the Middle East. The dried seeds are used as a spice, especially ground and can be found in Mexican recipes or curry powder. 
  • Fresh tomatoes: They are technically a fruit since they have seeds, but are prepared or served as a vegetable in savory dishes. They contain lycopene, which has great health benefits, vitamin c, potassium and folate. They are served fresh or cooked and can be roasted, canned, dehydrated or frozen for use later.
