Notes
Variation:
- Alternatively you can mix the cream cheese and taco seasoning in with the sour cream.
- You could also add in a Tablespoon of extra taco seasoning or even ranch seasoning mix to the sour cream if you want to add more seasoning.
Salsa: Do not use a thin salsa, it will make the whole dip runny. If the salsa has liquid, pour it through a mesh strainer. Alternatively you can skip the salsa and add extra tomatoes or pico de gallo. .
Make ahead: If you are wanting to make ahead of time, I would do the bean and sour cream layer and refrigerate. Then add the guacamole, salsa and toppings right before the event, so it stays fresh.
