Quick Taco Dip

Here is a recipe for a really quick taco dip.  Sometimes we have this as dinner itself, but it's also wonderful as a tasty appetizer to take to a party.  Enjoy!

Quick Taco Dip

1 small onion, diced
1 pound ground turkey or lean beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup sour cream (fat free is ok)
1-2 avocados, diced (depends how much avocado you like)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450
In a skillet heated over medium high heat, cook onion until softened
Add turkey or beef and cook through
Add taco seasoning and mix
Place meat mixture in a standard pie dish (or an 8x10 glass pan would work too)
Top meat with salsa, spreading evenly
Top salsa with sour cream, spreading evenly
Spread avocados over sour cream
Top with cheese (make sure the avocados are covered with cheese so they won't burn in the oven)
Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes

Serve with tortilla chips

This dip doesn't have to be served right out of the oven- room temperature is just as good.
