Taco Dip

This was a family favorite growing up and it still is. When we get together for any functions back home there is always one or two of these there. They are the first to go. It is sad but I could eat one myself if I wanted.

1 (16 oz) sour cream
1 (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 pkg taco seasoning
½ cup salsa (optional)
Lettuce, chopped in small pieces
Tomatoes, diced
Cheese, grated
Olives, chopped
Onion, diced

Mix sour cream and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add in taco seasoning and mix to your taste.
Spread over a shallow dish, a cookie sheet works best for me.
Spread salsa over top of bottom layer to desired amount. I only put it on half because I don’t like it.
Then layer lettuce, tomatoes, olives, onions, and cheese and any other taco fixings can be added to you liking.
Serve with tortilla chips.

Spinach Dip

1 Pkg (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
