I made this the other night as an appetizer when we had guests over and it was a huge hit! I prepared all of it ahead of time and put it in the oven as our guests arrived!
I mean, really, how could you go wrong with cheesy, creamy taco dip with all the fixin’s? Needless to say, it was gone almost as soon as I put it out!

Where does the Monterey Jack cheese come in? Recipe has instructions for the 2 cups of cheddar, but nothing for the 1 cup of Monterey jack. Pls advise. Thanks!
It is added with the remaining cheese in step 4.
Great recipe made with lean ground turkey – tons of flavor! I find no need to bake it I just add the salsa at the end when the cheese is melted.
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
can this be made a day ahead and baked when I’m ready to serve?
Yes, that would work perfectly with this recipe.
If you wanted to make it vegetarian, refried beans, chili beans, or black beans would be great substitutes!
That would be delicious too!
