Storage: Keep any remaining dip in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2 to 3 days for optimal taste and safety.
Doubling: This recipe scales up easily. Double each ingredient to serve a larger group.
Spice Level: Increase the heat by opting for spicy taco seasoning or incorporating finely chopped jalapeños.
Low-Fat Option: While full-fat sour cream provides the richest texture and taste, fat-free versions may be used if desired.
Homemade Taco Seasoning Substitute:
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp each paprika and ground cumin
¼ tsp each garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes
