Creamy Taco Dip

Creamy Taco Dip is a spicy, creamy dip topped with loads of chopped vegetables and freshly shredded cheese.

Adjust the spiciness to your liking using your favorite brand of taco sauce. Additionally, you could add extra hot sauce or Sriracha to add more heat.

One important note is that the cheese needs to be freshly grated. Pre-shredded cheese just isn’t as good. It is coated with a residue so that it doesn’t clump up in the bag which is not very pleasant to eat when it is served cold. Buy a block of cheese and shred it up. Use a food processor with a grater attachment to get this step done in seconds.

Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos scoops. Enjoy!
