Taco Dip
I wanted to spice up a traditional taco dip recipe, so I added cayenne pepper for some heat and fresh lime juice for a refreshing taste. To make it different, I also layered this taco dip with a few surprises like lettuce, olives, tomatoes and cheese. Try adding diced avocados to the toppings for a creamy addition! —Lynn Vogeler, Port Barrington, Illinois
