Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
"This has been my 'go-to' for many years
" says Ann. "I add chopped red onion to the toppings list as I love them and they add nice color
but are also easy to see for those that don't care for them. Green onions are also a tasty topping if red is too strong."
"This is your basic taco dip and exactly what it should taste like
" according to gailas3. "Made the cream cheese mixture the night before. It's best to remove the seedy part of the tomato to avoid it turning out too soggy."
"Everyone at the party I brought it to loved it
" says Lindsay. "I recommend whipping cream cheese in the mixer first
then slowly adding sour cream to keep it from clumping. I drained the salsa and put it on top of the mixture right before serving
then cheese
then lettuce and tomato."
