Week 38 - taco dip

I was given "strict" orders to bring the authentic taco dip for this past Christmas. Normally, I would have put up a fight since I really enjoy my taco bean dip. However, given the ease of this recipe and the frenetic pace of the holidays, I completely submitted.

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16 ounce) container nonfat sour cream
• 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2-3 chopped tomatoes
• 3-4 chopped scallions
• 1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, drained
• Optional - 1/4 head of lettuce

Overall, this recipe was quite suitable for the standard taco dip. I didn't add the lettuce on this particular attempt. I really am not convinced it belongs on a dip despite the outcries of my younger sister.

Overall, I would give this recipe 7 stars out of 10. It was good for a taco dip but I am only a moderate fan of the concept. I will make it again if and when taco dip is requested.
