Lean Super Bowl Cuisine: Touch Down Taco Dip

By: Jodie Shield, RD

Year’s ago, my friend Andie gave me her recipe for taco dip.  It was so good, but the dietitian in me just had to lighten it up.  Feel free to serve this at your Super Bowl party or at any gathering with friends and family.  Just make sure you prepare enough – it goes fast!  Serve it on a large platter with your favorite baked taco chips.  Go team!
