What Is Texas Party Dip?
Texas Party Dip is a creamy, taco-inspired cold dip made with sour cream, cream cheese, taco seasoning, and a mix of colorful, flavorful add-ins like shredded cheese, green chilies, olives, and fresh veggies.
Think of it as the chilled cousin of queso — no stove required, but just as addictive.
The beauty of this dip is that it’s layered with texture: creamy base, crunchy vegetables, savory seasoning, and cheesy goodness in every bite.
