- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1 1.25 oz packet taco seasoning mix
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes chopped
- 2.25 ounces canned sliced black olives drained

Softened the Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by letting it warm up on the counter, or whip it with a hand mixer to lighten it.
Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
Assemble the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a serving tray or an 11x7" casserole dish.
Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded lettuce evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Then, add the shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, and sliced green onions.
Serve: Serve the dip immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping chips.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and creamy base.
You can adjust the amount of taco seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
