Theoriginaltacodip Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread this mixture in a 9-inch (or a little larger) round serving dish. Top the mixture with lettuce, Cheddar cheese, tomatoes, bell pepper and black olives.

Steps:

• Stir together olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in a bowl and let sit while you prepare the cucumber.
• Peel cucumber and cut in half lengthways; scrape out all the seeds. Grate cucumber with a cheese grater into a sieve set over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Strain out as much liquid as possible by pressing down in the sieve with the palm of your hand. Alternately you can wring cucumber out in a clean tea towel. Add cucumber and yogurt to the garlic mixture. Mix until well combined and season with salt to taste.

Steps:

• Mix package of taco seasoning and sour cream.
• Layer beans on bottom of cake dish, then sour cream mixture, add shredded cheese and any other toppings.
• Chill for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise, onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it is well combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Salt to taste.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef, and then add taco seasoning and water following instructions on the Taco Seasoning packet.
• Mince jalapeño peppers with some of juice from jar in blender or food processor and set aside.
• While ground beef is browning, put cream cheese and Velveeta in a 3 quart or larger microwave safe container and microwave on 70% power for 5 minutes. At this point the cheeses may not be melted entirely, but this is OK.
• After 5 minutes, add the refried beans and minced jalapeño peppers to the cheese mixture. Stir cheese, beans and peppers to combine and return to the microwave for an additional 3 to 5 minutes at 70% power.
• After the cheese/bean/pepper mixture is completely melted, add the prepared taco meat. Fold in meat and stir until all ingredients are well blended.
• Serve warm with tortilla chips.
• Note: 5 to 6 peppers gives dip a nice bite, but you can adjust to your taste. Just remember that this recipe makes a lot of dip, but trust me you will need every bit of it. Leftovers (if any) can be frozen for later consumption.
