Mexican Hummus Dip

Celebrate Taco Tuesday with this delicious Mexican Hummus Dip.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Do you know what that means?  It means it’s Taco Tuesday around here.

Every Tuesday our neighbors get together at our house for tacos and margaritas.  We started doing this almost a year ago and now it’s something that we look forward to every week.  It’s easy because each family is in charge of bringing the same thing every week so it’s more like a Mexican pot luck.  Every week I’m in charge of making chicken taco meat in the slow cooker which is super easy and I’m also in charge of buying shredded cheese.

I’ve also been making this delicious Mexican Hummus Dip for everyone to snack on and it’s become a huge dip.  I started making this right after the new year because everyone wanted to eat healthier.  This dip has no sour cream or cream cheese so it’s healthier than other taco dips I’ve made and it doesn’t need to be baked so you can make it in about 10 minutes.

• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain hummus (16 ounces)
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 can sliced black olives

Instructions

1. Add hummus and taco seasoning to pie dish or 8 x 8 baking dish. Mix hummus and taco seasoning until well blended.
2. Spread salsa over hummus.
3. Sprinkle lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and black olives over salsa.

I promise you won’t even miss the sour cream.

And I’ve learned 3 things from our Taco Tuesday dinners –

1.  I will never buy shredded cheese again.  Shredding cheese yourself is a MUST.  I’ve been buying shredded cheese for so long that I forgot how good fresh shredded cheese tastes.  Big mistake buying it already shredded and you can definitely taste a difference.

2.  It’s become a tradition that Connor will always remember.  He’s now requesting Wing Wednesday, Fish Friday, and Sandwich Saturdays.

3.  I’m totally addicted to sweet potato tortilla chips!  I could eat the entire bag all by myself in one night.

Woohoo for Taco Tuesdays!
