    Last week, my hubby and I had some friends over for dinner and since we had them come over a bit earlier in the evening, we were all about to enjoy this dip as we caught up and relaxed a bit!

    Grab some chips and dig into this cheesy, Easy Layered Nacho Dip made with cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning, cheese, and green onion!

    Not only can this dip be made ahead of time, but it comes together in only about 10 minutes! In fact, you may have all the necessary ingredients already on hand! You can make this your own by adding more toppings, adding a kick with some spicy salsa, change up the cheeses, and more! Olives, jalapenos, green chiles, and more are all great options to add!

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THIS EASY LAYERED NACHO DIP

    Cream Cheese– softened, this allows everything to blend easier

    Sour Cream

    Taco Seasoning– I prefer using my homemade recipe HERE, however, store bought works great too

    Salsa– choose your favorite kind and make it your own. Verde works, as does mild, medium, or spicy

    Mexican Cheese– this is one of my fav blends, however, Colby Jack or Pepper jack cheese works too

    Green Onions– sliced

    Tortilla Chips– I love scoops with this since it holds more of the tasty dip, but any kind work great
