Taco Dip In A Jar

Last Cinco de Mayo these individual-sized taco dips were all the rage on Facebook, but we don’t need a national holiday to whip up a batch to share. Any day of the week is fine by us. This delicious dip features beef, guacamole, Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix and beans. Serve this yummy appetizer with tortilla chips.
