The BEST Taco Dip with Ground Beef
If you’re in need of an easy Cinco de Mayo party recipe that’s ready in 15 minutes, this layered taco dip with meat has got you covered. I guarantee it will be a hit with your family and friends. Keep it in your repertoire for all of the summer holidays coming up, including Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. This taco dip has summer picnic, party, and potluck written all over it. Because of the layers in this ground beef dip, you’re getting the best of all worlds. The cool cream cheese and creamy sour cream spiked with taco seasoning is a perfect contrast to the warm beef and tender black beans. The bits of onions and green chiles add extra flavor and texture. Even though the chiles are fire-roasted, we didn’t find the dip spicy. Super flavorful indeed but not spicy. The shredded cheese, juicy tomatoes, and cilantro are welcome bursts of freshness in contrast to the salty tortilla chips. They’re the perfect scoopers to help you savor this satisfying, filling, and comfort food dip. I can assure you that if I ran into this layered taco dip at a Cinco de Mayo party, I would babysit it all night long and not leave its side.
