#TOUCHDOWN TACO DIP SOUR CREAM FREE#
I personally love black olives and put them on my hot taco dip, but if you don't, feel free to leave them off. Black olives - Same as the tomato, onion, and cilantro.Fresh cilantro - I love fresh cilantro, but if you don't like it, leave it off.
Sometimes I throw a few chopped green onions on top. Touchdown Taco Dip uses diced red onion, so I left it in, but I don't put it on my taco dip when I make it for myself and my family. I left them in the recipe because Touchdown Taco Dip, the Pampered Chef recipe this is based on, calls for them.
But you can of course use sour cream if you prefer that. You won't notice a difference in the flavor between a dip made with Greek yogurt and one made with sour cream, especially because you're adding taco seasoning and garlic to it. Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream - Again, I use Greek yogurt because it lightens the recipe and tastes just like sour cream.It tastes just like the original, high fat version, but it lightens the recipes pretty significantly. Cream cheese - I prefer to use low fat cream cheese or neufchâtel.The original Pampered Chef recipe calls for a can of refried beans, but I prefer the texture and flavor of whole black beans even though it adds an extra step (that being mashing the beans). Black beans - The black beans are the foundation of hot taco dip.Electric mixer - This is optional, but using a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese and sour cream makes it lighter and puts more air into it, so the finished dip is easier to scoop.If you have to, you could mince the garlic with a sharp knife, but you're going to end up with noticeable pieces of raw garlic that way, whereas you would not with a garlic press. Garlic press - I use a garlic press to mince the garlic because it makes the pieces of garlic so small.An 8x8 or 9x9 or an 8-inch or 9-inch round pan would also work. Pie plate - I prefer to make this dip in a deep dish pie plate, but you could use a medium-sized baking dish of any shape.See the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page for measurements and nutritional information.

This recipe uses just a few standard pantry ingredients, so you probably already have everything you need to make it. My hot taco dip recipe makes a vegetarian dip with no ground beef, so there is no grease to dilute the sour cream/cream cheese layer. I've never tried it, but I think the dip would also be good with cheese-flavored rice cakes. We eat our Touchdown Taco Dip with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, preferably baked if we can find them. We need to eat a reasonable portion here.Īnyway, I did some substituting and came up with a dip that my whole family devoured, but has under 200 calories for a serving.
