• 1. Mix softened cream cheese with sour cream and 1 package of taco seasoning until smooth. Place on bottom of large, deep container.(Resist the urge to use low fat sour cream, too runny)

• 3. 3rd layer: Spread chopped lettuce over meat.
• 4. 4th layer: Chopped onions.
• 5. 5th layer: Chopped tomatoes (I use fresh, has better flavor and you CAN taste the difference).
• 6. 6th layer: Jalapeno peppers if desired. Dependent upon who the audience is, I will either finely chop them or just slice and layer them.
• 7. 7th layer: Spread cheese all over the top.
• 8. Refrigerate over night preferably to allow the flavors to meld.
• 9. When ready to serve, allow to come to room temp (about 90 minutes) before serving or your chips will break off in the bottom layer.
