Creamy Chicken Taco Dip

I started to write this post with a bowl full of leftover dip in front of me. Needless to say, the post did not progress until I had completely devoured every last bite! This recipe is just the right amount of creamy and spicy. It's absolutely delicious (even left over). This makes quite a bit of dip, but it could easily be frozen and reheated later. Enjoy!

  11. That dip looks so delicious! We're big on dips here, I think it's because we really love tortilla chips. Would love to try this one out sometime!

    1. I'm not a big meat person either. When I do eat meat, it is usually chicken. I prefer it to red meat.
