The thing I love about tacos is that there are so many different combinations of fillings and toppings for them. Everyone’s taco looks different with totally different flavor profiles. From mild to spicy one can add different proteins, vegetables, and cheeses. That’s what this Hot Baked Taco Dip recipe is all about. Create a base layer and then top it with all your favorites. You can’t go wrong.

On any given Taco Tuesday, I like to change it up from our basic tacos to these steak street tacos. Sometimes, I really don’t want all the dishes so this easy 30-minute taco skillet meal is made.

Last week, this cheesy taco dip was made for dinner. I doubled the easy recipe listed below and made it a meal. I served it with tortilla chips and fresh cut-up vegetables. We loved it!

Hot Baked Taco Dip

Some taco dips have seasoned ground beef in them and I make this one that way as well but I really wanted a meatless option when I first made this to serve during the football game a couple of weeks ago.

Layered dips are great because you get a little of everything in each bite.

I use homemade taco seasoning but a packaged one works great, too. I like to be able to control the level of salt and spicy. The homemade version can be made in bulk and stored in a mason jar.

When making this hot dip you’ll be layering the refried beans, seasoned cream cheese blend, and cheddar cheese then baking till hot and bubbly. Then, and this is where you can get creative, you’ll be adding all of those delicious taco toppings.

Tips, Tricks, and FAQS

  • A 9×9 inch square or round baking pan can be used.
  • Refried black beans can be used.
  • Feel free to use lower-fat cream cheese, non-fat is not recommended in this dip.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek or plain yogurt.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese for your favorite blend. A blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar is delicious, as is a Mexican or taco combination.
  • Some other taco toppings to use can include diced avocado, diced red onions, jalapeno slices, or guacamole.
  • If you want to make this a hearty dip, add meat. Use 1 pound of lean ground beef or ground turkey. Divide the homemade taco seasoning in half between the ground beef and the cream cheese blend. You’ll add the taco meat layer on top of the refried beans.
