Taco Dip

I decided to shape our favorite taco dip into a tree for Christmas, and served it with some red and green chips. 

It's such a simple, easy to make dip. I like to make it the day before and assemble it right before serving.

 I make the base and store it in the frig, taking it out about 30 minutes before serving so it's soft enough to spread on a plate. I also chop and shred the toppings and store them in individual baggies.

 It takes about 5 minutes to throw together, and tastes great!

Mix the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in the taco seasoning. Spoon onto plate and shape into tree. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sliced olives.
