We’ve Got An Easy Taco Seasoning For You
Some of you may think what makes this recipe amazing is the large wheel of brie cheese, but for me it’s the easy taco seasoning used to spice up the ground beef. It’s really simple and homemade, so no worrying about the added sugar inthe taco seasoning packets you will find in stores. You always want to use some combination of:
- Chili Powder
- Cumin
- Oregano
- Garlic Powder
- Paprika
- Cayenne
- Salt
You honestly can’t go wrong when using all those flavors in combination! We always have all of those ingredients on hand because you can literally add them to any meat you are cooking and it will be delicious. You can even make it in bulk and store in on your counter top or in the fridge (for longer lasting freshness) and use it on the fly.
The Best Dip Recipes – Keto Style!
To me, a good dip requires all around great mouth feel and lots of flavor. This easy taco dip recipe, for example, checks all the “best dip” boxes. It has spice, creaminess, crunch, and fatty meat. Some of my other favorite dips that fall into the “best dip” category would definitely be our low carb pizza dip and chorizo dip. I also love to make a big bowl off egg salad with bacon bits and scallions and use zucchini for dipping! When you combine high fat ingredients like cream cheese, heavy cream, and/or mayo you can’t go wrong. That being said, dips can also be dangerous so do yourself a favor and portion it out into Tupperware containers if you make it in bulk so you don’t regret that heavy feeling you often feel after stuffing yourself with dairy!
Easy Taco Dip
No matter how you fill your melted brie cheese wheel, just make sure you fill it up with something delicious. It doesn’t have be taco meat by any means. You can do a pizza style one with pepperoni, onions and some tomato sauce or a buffalo chicken one with shredded chicken thighs and buffalo sauce. Just do yourself a favor and make this easy taco dip ASAP!
