This layered taco dip is bound to be a Halloween party crowd-pleaser from flavor to presentation. The dip is made up of protein-rich lean turkey, seared with vegetables and taco seasoning for a fragrant base. It’s then topped with taco sauce and guacamole, which is rich in healthy fats and fiber. The final touch is a web design outlined by a light layer of sour cream which also adds freshness to the dip.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1⁄2 white onion, diced

  • 12 oz. ground turkey

  • taco seasoning, to taste

  • 1⁄4 cup taco sauce

  • 1 cup prepared gaucamole

  • 1⁄2 lime

  • 1 Roma tomato, halved

  • 1⁄4 cup black olives, halved

  • 1⁄4 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded

  • 2 Tbsp. sour cream

Instructions
  • Step 1

    In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add bell peppers, onions and garlic and sear, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Turn up heat to medium-high and immediately add ground turkey, breaking up the pieces. Add taco seasoning to taste. Once bell peppers are softened and turkey is thoroughly cooked, the turkey mixture is done.

  • Step 3

    Allow turkey mixture to cool slightly and put into a serving bowl. Top with taco sauce then the prepared guacamole. Sprinkle lime juice on top for flavor and to preserve the rich green color.

  • Step 4

    Line the sides with shredded cheese topped with tomatoes and halved black olives.

  • Step 5

    Add sour cream to a plastic or piping bag. Cut a small hole in the corner. Draw a spider web in the middle of the guacamole.

  • Step 6

    Serve dip with fresh cut veggies and baked chips. Enjoy!
