I just had to share with you Lisa’s Awesome Taco Appetizer.  A gorgeous and most delicious South-Of-The-Border dish that can best be described by saying, it’s a cross between a layered dip and a healthy salad. I know you’re probably thinking that I came up with this fabulous appetizer, since my name is in fact Lisa but I can’t take the credit, my good friend Lisa has been making this dip for years. According to her everyone LOVES it, and she usually has to double this recipe because it disappears so fast!

Mucho Bueno!

Let me know what you think…

 

Ingredients:

 

8 oz. sour cream

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
