What to Serve with Taco Dip?

There are many things that can be served with taco dip. Some common options include chips, crackers, bread, or vegetables. If you are looking for a healthier option, try serving the dip with sliced fruit or whole wheat crackers.

Here are some ideas to help you create the ultimate party platter when serving taco dip:

Tortilla Chips

Tortilla chips are the perfect vessel for taco dip.

They are sturdy enough to hold up to the thick, creamy dip, but thin and crispy enough to provide a contrast in texture.

The salty chips also help to balance out the sweetness of the dip.

You can easily make this kind of chips at home by cutting tortillas into thin strips and frying them in hot oil.

Pita Chips

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that chips and dip are the perfect match.

But what kind of chips should you serve with your dip?

When it comes to taco dip, we think pita chips are the way to go.

Pita chips have a nice, neutral flavor that lets the flavorful dip take center stage.

They’re also sturdy enough to hold up to even the heaviest of dippers, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking and making a mess.

Plus, they’re just plain delicious.

So when you’re planning your next party or get-together, be sure to pick up a bag of pita chips.

Your guests will thank you for it!

Carrots

Carrots are a classic accompaniment to taco dip because they are crunchy and add a freshness to the dish.

Plus, they are a healthy option for dipping! Carrots are high in fiber and contain vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health.

When you pair carrots with taco dip, you are getting a nutritious and delicious snack that will satisfy your hunger.

Here’s how I usually prepare carrots for dipping:

1. I wash and peel them, then cut them into thin strips.
2. I then place them in a bowl of ice water for about 15 minutes.This helps to crisp them up and makes them extra refreshing.
3. After they have cooled, I drain them and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then, they are ready to be dipped!

Celery Sticks

Celery sticks go well with taco dip for a few reasons.

• First, they provide a crunchy contrast to the smooth, creamy dip.
• Second, they help to balance out the flavors in the dip, which can be quite rich.
• Third, they are a healthy option for those who are watching their calorie intake.
• Finally, they are easy to eat and can be used as a utensil for scooping up the dip.

Here’s how I like to prepare my celery sticks for dipping:

1. I first wash them thoroughly and then slice them into thin strips.
2. I then arrange them on a plate or in a bowl around the dip.

I find that this not only looks attractive, but it also makes it easier for people to grab a celery stick and dip it into the dip.

Cheese Sticks

Is there anything that cheese sticks don’t go well with?

Seriously, these fried delights are the perfect accompaniment to any dish, and that includes taco dip.

The savory, salty flavor of cheese sticks is the perfect complement to the creamy, cheesy dip, and the crunchy texture is a nice contrast to the smoothness of the dip.

Furthermore, cheese sticks are just plain delicious, and who doesn’t love a good fried cheese stick?

So next time you’re looking for the perfect snack to go with your taco dip, don’t forget the cheese sticks!

You can either buy cheese sticks or make them at home.

If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, I’d suggest making your own.

Homemade cheese sticks are always better than store-bought, and they’re not as difficult to make as you might think.

1. Start by cutting some mozzarella cheese into sticks, then dip them in beaten eggs and coat with a mixture of flour, cornmeal, and spices.
2. Fry them in hot oil until they’re golden brown and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
3. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Pretzels

This tasty, crunchy, salty snack is the perfect vessel for taco dip.

The sort of neutral flavor of the pretzel complements the zesty flavors in the dip, and the crispy texture is a perfect contrast to the creamy dip.

And also, the ridges on the pretzel provide the perfect place for the dip to clinging, making sure you get a delicious bite of both pretzel and dip in every bite.

Crackers

Crackers need no introduction – they are a beloved snack food enjoyed by people all over the world.

And there are few things more satisfying than dipping a cracker into a delicious, flavor-packed dip.

That’s why crackers go so well with taco dip – the crunchy, salty crackers are the perfect vehicle for scooping up all that amazing flavor.

Plus, the texture of crackers is perfect for absorbing all the deliciousness of the dip, without getting soggy.

And since taco dip is usually packed with lots of hearty ingredients like ground beef, beans, and cheese, the crackers help to balance out the flavors and keep the dip from being too heavy.

So next time you’re planning a party or get-together, don’t forget the crackers – they’re the perfect partner for your taco dip (and any other dip you might be serving!).

Here’s how I like to make my own batch in just a few simple steps…

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 packet (1.25 oz) taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned.
3. Add black beans, tomatoes, and taco seasoning mix, and stir to combine.
4. Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.
5. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve with crackers and enjoy!

Veggie Sticks

Carrots, celery, and bell peppers are often served with dips like this one, and there are a few reasons why.

1. First, they add a crunchy contrast to the creamy dip.
2. Second, they help to balance out the flavors, adding a bit of sweetness and freshness.
3. And finally, they provide a healthy option for those who want to avoid the tortilla chips that are usually served with this dish.

Other veggies that would also go well with this dip include cucumbers, zucchini, and yellow squash.

These can be served raw or lightly blanched.

If you’re looking for a bit more of a flavor punch, you could also try roasting some of these veggies before serving them with the dip.

Breadsticks

How have I not mentioned breadsticks yet?

They are amazing. I could probably eat an entire batch of them by myself, but I digress.

Anyway, back to the dip.

Breadsticks are the perfect vessel for this dip.

They are sturdy enough to hold up to the thick, creamy sauce, but still soft enough to soak up all the flavors. Plus, they have that little bit of crunch that helps to offset the richness of the dip.

And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good breadstick?

They are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy, and they just make everything taste better.

So if you’re looking for the perfect thing to serve with your taco dip, look no further than breadsticks!

Garlic Bread

My mom always used to make a garlic bread to go along with our taco dip and I have to say, it was the perfect pairing.

The garlic bread added a bit of heartiness to the otherwise light appetizer and helped to sop up all of the deliciousness.

Plus, the two flavors just went so well together!

The garlicky, buttery bread was the perfect complement to the zesty, flavorful dip.

I always looked forward to mom making this dish for our parties and get-togethers.

Conclusion

With so many delicious options, your guests are sure to love whatever you serve with your taco dip!

Just be sure to have plenty of chips, vegetables, and other dipping items on hand.

And don’t forget the margaritas!
