- 1 cup cream cheese Softened
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or Mexican blend
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning, mixing well.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth.
- Add the cooked meat, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and green onions to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into tortilla chips or mini tortilla cups.
Serving
- Serve immediately and enjoy! They are great on their own but can also be enjoyed with extra ranch dressing or salsa for dipping.
Storage
- If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To serve again, just reheat in the microwave for a few seconds until warm.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the mixture. Use your favorite kind of cheese for different flavors. Make the filling in advance and keep it separate until you're ready to serve for a fresher taste. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef or turkey with black beans or refried beans.
