Taco Dip - Trust Me, it's delicious.

It really is as simple as it sounds, but it is one little step that you take that makes it so good.  This is a Go-To dip for me, it is cheap, easy and you look like a champ.  Roll in with your pie plate and a bag of Tostitos and watch it disappear.




Ingredients -
16oz Sour Cream minus 2oz (Full Fat, who are you trying to fool with the other stuff)
1 Packet Old El Paso Original Taco Seasoning
1 16oz Packet of Finely Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese (without seasoning added)
**Handful of Tomatoes (Use Plum Tomatoes in the off season)  - slice the tomatoes width-wise and use a spoon to scoop out the "guts".  Then chop the tomatoes into small pieces.



**This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP, many people make this appetizer with salsa or the tomatoes as is, watery sour cream is the worst and that is what makes it crappy when others serve it.  Follow these simple steps and you will be a hero.


(Also, a side note regarding the above photo.  I usually do this over the sink, but for the sake of the photo I used a cutting board.  Seconds later I spilled tomato guts down the front of myself.  Use the sink.)

Mix sour cream & taco seasoning, spread across the bottom of a pie plate.


If you have time - chill this a bit before serving.  Shake out some cheese on top, don't be cheap.

Then spread out the tomatoes.  And chow.
