Taco seasoning – Full of Mexican flavor, taco seasoning add a boost of spice

How To Make Bean Dip
The full recipe is below, but here you’ll find all the steps for making this recipe perfectly the first and 100th time, along with useful tips and info!
Add all the ingredients (use only half of the shredded cheese) to a bowl and mix together.
Pour the bean dip into the baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Top Tips For Making
- This recipe uses a package of taco seasoning for convenience, but you can absolutely make your own!
- You can absolutely swap out the shredded cheese for other varieties. I like the combination of sharp cheddar with milder Monterey Jack, but you can also try a Mexican blend, Colby Jack, or whatever you have around the house.
- I topped my bean dip with sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes and onions, and cilantro, but you can top it any way you like. Try sliced black olives, sliced chili peppers, or even a dollop of sour cream.

Wine pairings
I recommend buying wine from Scout and Cellar, especially for lower carb or sugar and the health conscious. There’s no added sugar to these wines, and they’re all much lower in carbs, calories, and sugar. For me, there’s no headache or fogginess the next day!
Obviously, you’ll want to pick your wine based on what else you’re serving, but you really can’t go wrong with these fun, perfect for parties picks:
– Sparkling white wine (in cans!), like NV 14K Bubbly White Wine from California
РSparkling ros̩ (also in cans!), like Epic Pursuit Ros̩ Wine Spritzer
– Brut, like NV Cattin Sauvage Cremant d’Alsace Brut, from Alsace, France
