Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Half a 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning mix, or 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
2 tablespoons tomato paste
One 14.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 large tomato, chopped
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
Sliced black olives and/or pickled jalapenos, optional
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour off the excess grease, add the taco seasoning and stir until the beef is well coated. Add the tomato paste, and stir until it darkens to a dull brick red, about 30 seconds. Add 3/4 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook and until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans, and stir just to warm them through. Remove from the heat, and transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Top the beef-and-bean mixture with an even layer of sour cream, then a layer of Cheddar. Sprinkle the tomatoes, lettuce and black olives and jalapeno if using on top. Serve with tortilla chips.

INCREDIBLE AND EASY TACO DIP!



Incredible and Easy Taco Dip! image

This taco dip is incredibly simple to make - so simple, it doesn't seem right that it can taste so good. We got this recipe from my friend Kathy, who altered a recipe she had found online. Whenever I make this, my DH asks me to make two so he can enjoy it again after the party. It gets gobbled up quickly no matter where we take it! The main key is to make this the day before and let it chill in the fridge overnight - allowing the flavors to meld together. Feel free to get creative with the ingredients!
