Cheesy Baked Mexican Chicken Dip (Taco Dip)

This Cheesy Baked Mexican Chicken Dip (Taco Dip) is a layered dip with cream cheese, refried beans, salsa, sauteed peppers & onions, shredded cooked chicken and loads of cheese!  SO good.

I’m officially knee deep in holiday season planning and prep!  How about you?  It’s a crazy time of year, but I’m really trying to enjoy it…I don’t want to go through my favourite time of year feeling stressed!  So my goal is to be prepared and plan for holiday parties and the big day well in advance so that I can enjoy all the moments when they arrive!

Have an appetizer plan!

One of the areas that I struggle with the most is food to be served before big dinners.  Appetizers.  I never know what to serve…but not this year.  This year I’m ready with loads of great appetizer ideas…I filled a Pinterest board with appetizers, I tried a few ahead of time like these Stuffed Mushrooms, and I’ve found some great recipes for chicken appetizers on Chicken.ca like these Chicken Cranberry Fusion Meatballs, or these Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut Sauce or these delicious Mini Walnut, Spinach and Chicken Quiches (I tried these at a conference and they were SO good!).

This Cheesy Baked Mexican Chicken Dip is perfect for any occasion!

I also just made this Cheesy Baked Mexican Chicken Dip to share with you.  This is a great holiday appetizer or even a late snack after a night of skating or skiing.  It’s hearty and really tasty.  And best of all it’s very simple to make…so maybe you’ll want to add it to your appetizer list this year?

A delicious layered dip that tastes like tacos!

This is a layered dip with cream cheese, refried beans, salsa, sauteed peppers & onions, shredded cooked chicken and loads of cheese!

Serve this dip with tortilla chips and you’ve got a hearty and delicious appetizer for a crowd!

It’s also great served with a little salsa, guacamole and lime wedges on the side.

Deeeeelicious!  I hope you enjoy this Cheesy Baked Mexican Chicken Dip!
