Ingredients

Taco Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Taco Dip Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef 97/3
  • 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz whipped cream cheese
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 15 oz can no-salt-added or low sodium black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup no-salt-added canned diced tomatoes drained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small jalapeño finely diced, optional

Instructions

  • Cook the ground beef until no longer pink and fully browned. Drain off any excess fat. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan along with half of the taco seasoning mixture. Stir until fully combined and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Once the beef is finished cooking, drain off any remaining liquid. Let the beef cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and the other half of the taco seasoning mixture, and lime juice. Stir until smooth.
  • Spread the mixture into an 8x8-inch dish or similar serving dish.
  • Spread the ground beef into an even layer on top (make sure it is mostly cooled before doing so).
  • Add the black beans in an even layer.
  • Top with tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, jalapeño (if using), and cheese.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, mini sweet peppers, cucumber slices, or your favorite vegetables.
