Take-out Tuesday, Taco Tuesday Dip
Tuesdays at my house are usually Taco Tuesdays because my grandsons are here and they love tacos. They eat scrambled egg tacos for breakfast and chicken and beef tacos for lunch and dinner…
Everything tastes better in a tortilla, right?
Often I have a little taco seasoned meat leftover, not enough for another meal but enough to do something with…
Empanadas make a tasty snack, but how about a chunky hot dip
Add some vegetables like corn, chopped yellow peppers, onion and refried beans to the leftover taco meat
Top it with a layer of grated cheese
Pop it in the oven until it’s hot and melty
and serve it up with mini pepper pieces and scoop style chips
Perfect for football noshing!
Wait… football is over… 😢
But! There is March Madness, The Masters, Talladega, the Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo, and lots of just plain ole Friday and Saturday nights when you need a nice hot dip to satisfy your inner snack demon… 🐷

Oh it all looks so wonderful. My son who is 25 puts everything in a tortilla wrap too – even a good steak. He’s got me kinda hooked. 😉
Jenna, who doesn’t love a taco and this dip sounds amazing! My family will love this! I had my first taco at the age of sixteen! A small Mexican restaurant opened downtown and I was smitten! Happy Tuesday!

Oh Jenna, you are making me want tacos for breakfast! This all looks so delicious I think tacos will have to be on the menu soon here. Love the dip, already printed it out, and love the cutout heart. You are so creative in the kitchen! Keep all these great recipes coming. PS….love the blog look.
You are so kind Emily, I really thought this wasn’t exciting enough to post, but it seems there are a lot of taco fans out there! >
Yep, dips are always in season:@)
I am a taco fan, and I love all of these ideas. Have a great week!
I just got home late and was craving Mexican, so I ate a frozen, microwave burrito.
Your’s looks better.
Jenna, I’d like to trade in my smoothie for a taco for breakfast! 🙂
This looks so tempting ♥
