Skinny Taco Dip

A while back, I found a fabulous new (to me) website called skinnytaste.com.  I was looking for more slow cooker recipes, but found tons of tons of other tasty looking things here as well.

One of the first recipes I tried was their Skinny Taco Dip -- YUM.

Here's what you need:

  • 8 oz 1/3 less fat Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 8 oz reduced fat sour cream
  • 16 oz jar mild salsa
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2.25 oz black olives
  • (Optional) 1 lb. ground meat

And here's what you do: 
Brown meat and spread in the bottom of a 9 by 13 or other large pan.  In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, salsa and taco seasoning and mix well with an electric mixer. Spread on the bottom of a large shallow glass dish.Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and black olives.  Place in pre-heated oven until cheese is melted. Serve with baked tortilla chips.
