Hot Taco Dip

My sister, Jen, gets credit for this recipe. Craving a simple and easy Mexican dish, this dip was the solution. It works well as a an appetizer but also pretty tasty as a main meal. There are numerous variations and substitutions that can be made, but this is my favorite version.

Ingredients:                       
1 lbs ground turkey
1 pkg taco seasoning
2/3 cup water
1 can refried beans
1/2 medium yellow onion                                  
1 jar salsa (I prefer mild)
1 pkg mexican cheese (cheddar is a good substitute)
1 container light sour cream
Chips for dunking

Note: olives can also be added

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

            

While oven is heating,  brown ground turkey. Drain. Place pan back on stove and add 2/3 cup water and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Once seasoning is mixed in, let meat simmer for 7-10 minutes. While simmering, add in refried beans.  Thoroughly mix meat and beans together.

Spray an 11 x 7 pan with pam, then spread meat/bean mix on the bottom. Cover the meat with sour cream, then salsa, onion and cheese. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve with chips.

Enjoy!
