Notes
Note on cream cheese mixture: It’s best to let the cream cheese-sour cream mixture sit for an hour or two before serving, to allow the flavors to blend. Don’t worry if you don’t have time though – it also tastes great when served immediately!
Note on Taco Seasoning: you can find my Taco Seasoning recipe here. Prepared Taco (or Mexican) Seasoning is also available in the spice or Mexican food aisle at most major grocery stores.
Gluten free: if using a purchasing Mexican or taco seasoning blend, make sure it’s gluten free.
