Taco dips are always popular with a crowd. This recipe was very bland, which serves the "mild" crowd well. The amount of green onion was out of balance (too much). The cheese mixture could use some flavor too (taco seasoning, garlic, cumin, oregano, etc.) Needs just a little something to jazz up the bland factor. It's a good dip for those who are new to or don't care for more exotic flavors and it's easy to assemble too. All in all, still a crowd pleaser.

This is basically the same Mexican Dip that I make, minus the olives, and not as much onion. Tastes delicious!

This dip is really good. I served it at a Mexican themed dinner party for 8 people and everyone loved it. There was plenty left over, too.

Have made this many times...always a hit. I hate olives, so they get left out, and I tend to use a little less sour cream than called for.

Easy and quick to make. The salsa I used was a little watery, May think about draining it next time

This was great and easy to make! I made a few changes - I used a can of refried beans as the first layer, split the cream cheese in half, added about a 1/2 packet of taco seasoning in the cream & sour cream mixture, and added some green onion on top to, to make it look pretty. It was great, everyone loved it! It would also work with a little taco meat for a yummy taco salad too!

Very good, just what I was looking for. I also added taco seasoning to the cream cheese mixture and jalapenos for a little kick. This dip was gone within an hour of setting it out!

Good recipe, but would have been better with the taco seasoning in the cream cheese mixture as suggested in the reviews. I'll definitely make it again though! I might add some refried beans as the bottom layer next time.

This was excellent. I made it for a party and everyone said we should have just had it for the main course!! I made a double batch and put the black olives on half because I don't eat them. It tasted great without them but, the black olive side went the first. Doubling it made a huge amount and it was hard to find a pan big enough for layering it so, be careful. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I made this for a potluck at work and it was gone in a short amount of time. I added a packet of low-sodium taco seasoning to the cream cheese mixture as suggested by other reviewers. I also omitted the diced tomatoes and only used a small can of sliced olives because I used a smaller dish and the olives and tomatoes would have overwhelmed it and made it too runny. I think the taco seasoning is what made it so good. I served it with whole grain Tostitos. EDITED: I made this again recently for another work function. I didn't have olives, so I used drained and rinsed black beans instead. I also used hot and spicy Old El Paso taco seasoning, which gave it a little kick, but not too much.

I loved this dip. I'm not a huge fan of refried beans so I was psyched to find a mexican dip w/o them. I serve this every chance I get. My family and friends just love it.

We have a similar recipe in our family that is always a big hit. We use medium taco sauce instead of salsa (less watery and better tangy flavor) and add chopped tomato, onion and green pepper after the sauce layer. Yum!

I made this dip for a party at work and it was a real hit! Several people asked me for the recipe. I think the dip would have been too bland if I hadn't used a jar of HOT salsa. There is plenty of cream cheese/sour cream mixture to disperse the heat of the salsa yet leave a little kick.

Originally rated a 4 star but have upgraded to 5 star. This really is a huge hit whenever I take it to a party and there are always requests for the recipe so feel it deserves the 5 star treatment - what a winner(even on the other side of the world.) Thanks for sharing

This was great. Wish I had it a couple days earlier for Cinco de Mayo. I make a quck dip that is similar. I spread the cream cheese in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Then I cover it with a can of chillie. On top of that I place a jar of picante sauce and cover theat with a layer of shredded chedar cheese. Pop it in the microwave for 10 minutes and it is great with tortillia chipx.
