Game day Taco Dip

Who doesn't need a tasty, quick appetizer for game day. Whether it's hockey, baseball or football this dip delivers. Serve the dip along side a big bowl of tortilla chips. It can be prepare the day before too, so the cook won't  miss any of the game.

Start by  preparing the cream cheese base. Combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, zest and juice from one lime and two tablespoon of taco seasoning(find my homemade taco seasoning here). Combine well with mixer.

Spread onto the bottom of a large dish. This one is about 10 inches across.

  

Start layering. I  like tomatoes, peppers and green onions. Be sure to remove the seeds from the tomatoes, it will be too watery otherwise.

Drop spoonfuls of salsa over the veggies. I like to use homemade salsa(find the recipe here).

Top with grated cheese. I have used old, white cheddar here. You could use mozzarella, monterey jack or pepper jack. Cover and refrigerate overnight if you wish.

Pass the tortilla chips and dig in. Home run! Touchdown! Goal!
