Tips & Tricks
- Substitute the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. This will give the dip a tangier flavor.
- You can also use softened cream cheese instead of sour cream. This will give you a thicker dip.
- Try Mexican crema instead of sour cream for a flavor that is rich and a bit tangier.
- Use packed taco seasoning or make your own homemade taco seasoning by blending together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- You can also try packaged fajita seasoning instead of taco seasoning for a slightly different blend of spices.
- If you’re sensitive to spice levels, start with one tablespoon of taco seasoning, then taste and adjust.
