Creamy Taco Dip

The original recipe talks about this dip being a delicious way to use leftover taco meat. I do not know about you, but there is no such thing as leftover taco meat in my family. When it is taco night there are no leftovers.  

This dip is so delicious, it is worth making taco meat to enjoy it. It only takes about 10 extra minutes to make the meat for this, so the dip will still be ready in 30 minutes. You could also plan ahead and make extra taco meat on taco night to make this dip. No matter when you make the meat for this dip it is a creamy, cheesy and delicious dip.

Creamy Taco Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 ounce Monterey jack, shredded
• tortilla chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375º F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground turkey and cook until crumbled and completely cooked. Drain any liquid. Add in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce the meat to medium and cook stirring occasionally until the liquid is mostly gone. 
3. Add in the cream cheese and salsa. Cook stirring frequently until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
4. Spread the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cheese over top.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to turn brown. Serve with tortilla chips.

Enjoy!!!
