Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1/3 less fat Philadelphia) softened
- 8 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt or reduced-fat sour cream, drained
- 16 ounces mild chunky salsa about 1 jar, such as Tostitos
- 1.5 tablespoons taco seasoning or half a packet of store-bought mix
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce finely shredded
- 2 medium tomatoes seeds removed and diced
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2.25 ounces sliced black olives drained
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salsa, and taco seasoning. Mix well with an electric mixer until smooth and fully blended.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of a large shallow glass dish to create the first creamy layer.
- Top the cream layer with shredded iceberg lettuce, distributing it evenly.
- Add diced tomatoes over the lettuce, followed by shredded cheddar cheese and finally the drained black olives.
- Serve immediately or chill up to 4 hours before serving. Pair with baked tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
If making ahead, consider layering the lettuce closer to serving to prevent wilting. For a heartier version, add a cooled layer of ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning.
